Unable to add user that was previously deleted

Im trying to add my accountant that was previously deleted, but i keep getting the message that the email address already exists....He does not show up as a user even when the inactive box is ticked.

  • Hi JL25

     

    Thanks for letting me know. Apologies that it didn't resolve the issue.

     

    To change the user access, you usually would be able to use the drop-down on the invitation already sent on my.myob to change the invitation to inviting them as an Advisor instead of File User.

     

    To do this:

    1. choose Users from the company menu in the top right corner.
    2. If in the new screen the user to be deleted is not listed, click the Status button and select all entries.
    3. In the new screen (showing user details), click the Delete button in the left corner.
    4. Note: You may have to unassigned rights first and click Save.

    You should be able to delete the user and use Create advisor successfully.

     


    Please do let us know how you go, and feel free to post again anytime you require further assistance.

    I too am having trouble re-adding an inactive user with the same email addr.

     

    I had cancelled the user and made them inactive and when I try to delete it states "can't delete a user that has an audit trail".

     

    I initially set them up as a file user but they needed to be an advisor.

     

    Help!

    Hi

     

    Sorry this didnt answer my question, my accountant was deleted months ago but I need to re add him, he is not showing up even as an inactive user & when I go to add advisor an error message comes up saying there is already a user with this email, enter a different email. 

     

    Thanks

    Thanks for your post. I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. I hope you find it a valuable resource.

     

    In this matter, you would need to check the email of every users listed in the account to check if they have the same email. Go to Product >> Users >> Click the name of the user to be deleted >> Click delete >> confirmation message will appear, click Delete.

     

    You may also check this Help Article Edit and delete users to provide you with more information and instructions to assist you with this.
