Best Practices

1. Onboarding

✅ Standard onboarding checklist ✅ Role assignment based on job function ✅ Group assignment from day 1 ✅ Security training required ❌ Don't grant broad access initially

2. Offboarding

✅ Deactivate immediately on departure ✅ Remove from all groups ✅ Revoke API keys ✅ Transfer ownership of resources ✅ Export user data if needed ❌ Don't delay deactivation

3. Regular Reviews

✅ Quarterly access review ✅ Remove inactive users (90+ days) ✅ Verify role appropriateness ✅ Update group memberships ❌ Don't let permissions accumulate

4. Principle of Least Privilege

✅ Start with User role ✅ Escalate only when needed ✅ Time-limit elevated access ✅ Document justification ❌ Don't make everyone Manager/Admin

Troubleshooting

User Can't Login

Symptom: "Invalid email or password" or "Account not found"

Diagnostic steps:

  1. Admin → Users → search by email → verify status "Active" (not "Pending" or "Inactive")

  2. Check invitation status: If "Pending", user must click invite link first

  3. If SSO: Admin → SSO → verify enabled and user's email domain in allowed list

  4. Check account lockout: Admin → Users → [User] → Security tab → Failed logins count

Fix:

  • If "Pending": Resend invitation (Admin → Users → [User] → Resend Invite)

  • If "Inactive": Click Activate button

  • If locked out (5+ failed attempts): Click Unlock Account

  • If SSO misconfigured: Fix SSO settings or have user use password login


User Missing Permissions

Symptom: User reports "You don't have permission to access this" error

Diagnostic steps:

  1. Admin → Users → [User] → verify role (should be train/configure/admin for most features)

  2. Check groups: If permission is group-based, verify user in correct group

  3. Have user log out and log back in (permissions cached for 5 minutes)

Fix: Change role (Admin → Users → [User] → Edit → Role dropdown) or add to group


Bulk Import Failed

Symptom: Import shows errors for some rows

Common errors:

  • "Invalid email format" → Fix email syntax (must have @)

  • "Duplicate email" → Email already exists, skip or update role

  • "Invalid role" → Must be exactly: readonly, train, configure, admin (lowercase)

  • "Group not found" → Create group first, or remove from CSV

Fix: Download error CSV (shows which rows failed), fix errors, re-import
