Inviting New Advisor

Good day, our accountant is going on long service leave and sent me an email with the details of her replacement, who I need to provide access to my MYOB file for BAS and reporting.  I have not been able to get this right as I keep getting errors.  Please see attachments of Error 1 (which I get when I try inviting them from the MYOB desktop app, and when I go the the online app as prompted, Error 2 is what I am getting.  Please let me know what I am doing wrong - I have followed the instructions on how to do it but it doesn't work.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mathilda1,

     

    That's a bit of a pain, especially when you're just trying to get your accountant's replacement sorted before they head off on leave. From what you've described (and the screenshots showing that "error occurred while creating the user"), there might be something in the setup or system causing the invite to fail. Just a couple of things worth double-checking:

     

    • Make sure you've got Administrator access when inviting the new user. Without that, the invite won't go through properly
    • Check that the email you're inviting hasn't already been used with another MYOB login (even partially set up accounts can cause this)
    • Try entering the name/email manually instead of autofill (that can sometimes trip it up)
    • If you can, give it a go in a different browser or incognito mode to rule out any caching gremlins

    If it's still throwing the same error after that, best bet is to jump onto our live chat support through our virtual assistant, MOCA, or submit a case via My Account so the team can take a closer look and get that invite sorted for you.

     

    Regards,
    Sai
