How to Fix: your admin has configured the application to block users

Accordion runbook sections

  1. 1

    Confirm scope, user impact, and reproduction

    Info
    v

    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.

  2. 2

    Validate prerequisites and application/session state

    Info
    v

    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.

  3. 3

    Run safe diagnostics from the Commands section

    Command
    v

    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.

  4. 4

    Apply safe remediation steps

    Info
    v
    • 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.
  5. 5

    Escalate when access, policy, or security controls are involved

    WarningAdmin required
    v
    • 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.
