Confirm scope, user impact, and reproduction
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step

Run safe diagnostics from the Commands section

Apply safe remediation steps
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- Review the employee roster and verify each operational user has the correct Metrc account and permissions. - Update or rotate the API keys tied to the facility and confirm Canix is using the intended credential set. - Retest with a single low-risk inventory action and verify attribution before returning to normal operations. - Document any historical transactions that may need compliance review because they were posted under the wrong user.

Warning
Review carefully before proceeding
- Regulated inventory changes are being recorded under an incorrect person. - The facility relies on shared credentials and needs a broader access-control correction. - Audit or compliance staff require a formal attribution review.
