Frequently asked questions

I approved a pending user without merging. Can I go back and merge them?

No. You’d need to archive the user you approved and have the user log in with the correct email address and password. You can look at their user details and tell them which email address to use.

My user sees an “almost ready” message upon logging in, but they’ve already registered. What’s going on?

The user may have registered with a different workplace using a different email address. You can look at their user details and tell them which email address to use.

I merged a pending user with my profile, and now I can’t log in. What do I do?

If you merge a pending user with your own profile, contact our Customer Care team.
