Cause

New Collaborate: OneDrive admin account issue

There is a problem with the OneDrive admin account used to configure and manage New Collaborate.

Solution

  1. Check which account is nominated as the OneDrive admin account.
  2. Confirm the user is licensed for Microsoft 365 with OneDrive, with at least the Microsoft Business Basics plan.
  3. Confirm the account is Active in the Users list.
  4. Ensure the user has logged into FYI at least once.

If you need help reviewing your setup, follow the guide to configuring New Collaborate.

Co-Edit: OneDrive admin account login has expired

The nominated OneDrive admin user must log into FYI again. If this user doesn’t log in regularly, their login can expire, resulting in this error.

Solution

  1. Ask an FYI Admin or a user with access to automations to check which account is nominated as the OneDrive admin account.
  2. Ask someone with access to the OneDrive admin account to log into FYI using that account.
  3. Try co-editing the document again.
