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
    • 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.
  5. 5

    Escalate when access, policy, or security controls are involved

    WarningAdmin required
    v
    • 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.
