Symptom

In certain instances, you might attempt to create a standard account or a guest account, and instead receive the following error:

Cause

The system stores one email address per user account stored in the system, including administrator accounts, standard user accounts, and guest accounts.

The error message described above indicates that the email address has already been used to create one of these account types. 

Within the x360Sync SaaS environment, another organization—including organizations operated by another company or administrator—might already have used this email address to create an account.

As a best practice, we recommend working with the end user to resolve this issue.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, we recommend contacting end users who are affected by this error. End users can then log in using their original credentials and change the email addresses linked to the original account. If the end users cannot remember their passwords, the passwords can be reset from the Login page.

Change the email address linked to the original account

1. Navigate to the web portal URL.

For SaaS environments, end users can navigate to https://www.syncedtool.com.

When end users have access to the web portal, they can then change the email address associated with this original account.

For standard user accounts, click the Logged In As link in the top banner of the web portal.



The Account Settings page displays, providing the opportunity to change the email address associated with the account.
