Unable to add guest user
This article applies to:
- Product version: All versions of inSync Cloud and On-Premises
Problem description
inSync displays the following error message while adding a guest user as a collaborator:
Successfully saved changes. Could not add <guest_userID> as guest(s).
Cause
Druva issues 50 guest user licenses to each inSync Cloud and On-Premises customer. If your users have used up all the 50 guest user licenses and are trying to add more guest users as collaborators, inSync shows this error.
Resolution
For On-Premises deployments:
- Check the inSync Server logs (Cportal.log) for the below error while adding the guest user:
