Step-by-Step Resolution

Expand each section as needed

1
Symptoms
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- A new user cannot finish Metrc setup from the welcome email. - The operator can sign in but cannot perform the expected inventory or transfer actions. - A facility admin believes the employee was added, but the user still has no usable access.
2
Likely Causes
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- The email address or employee profile was entered incorrectly. - The activation or onboarding step expired before the user completed it. - Required permissions, license access, or training prerequisites were not completed.
3
Confirm scope, user impact, and reproduction
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
Document whether the issue affects one user, multiple users, or multiple devices. Confirm exact error messages, recent changes (password reset, update, network change), and whether the same issue reproduces in web vs desktop workflows where applicable.
4
Validate prerequisites and application/session state
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
Confirm the user is signed in with the correct corporate account, system time is accurate, network/VPN connectivity is stable, and the application is not running in offline or limited mode.
5
Run safe diagnostics from the Commands section
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
Use the command snippets below to collect non-destructive diagnostics. Capture output in the ticket when escalation may be required. Avoid deleting profiles, cached credentials, or managed app data unless the runbook or admin approval explicitly allows it.
6
Apply safe remediation steps
Info
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- Confirm the employee is associated with the correct facility, license, and email address before reissuing access. - Resend or restart the onboarding workflow using the current Metrc admin path instead of asking the user to reuse an old link. - Validate the user’s permission scope so the first successful sign-in matches the tasks they must perform. - If the user will transact through Canix, confirm the Metrc account is also ready for any required API-linked workflow.
7
Escalate when access, policy, or security controls are involved
Warning
Review carefully before proceeding
- Multiple users cannot onboard or the facility admin cannot add employees. - A same-day transfer, receive, or compliance deadline depends on the blocked user. - The issue may reflect a broader account, licensing, or vendor-side access problem.
Admin review or admin rights may be required for this step.
