Issue
When logging into the New Collaborate site the following error is displayed:
- "Selected user account does not exist in tenant (Tenant Name) and cannot access the application (application ID) in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first.
Cause
This error occurs when a client is trying to login to New Collaborate with an email address that does not exist in the Microsoft Entra guest user list.
Solution
- Run the Client Sharing Settings Status Check in FYI to ensure there are no issues. Refer to section Client Sharing Settings Status Check in Troubleshooting New Collaborate using Status Check
After running the Client Sharing Settings Status Check, if no issues are identified:
- Confirm the client is trying to login with the email address that the invitation was sent to;
- Ask the client to attempt to login using an incognito or private browser. This will ensure that the browser is not trying to login with a cached login from a different account.
If the client wishes to use a different email to login, you will need to:
- Add the new email to the Sharing Settings. Refer to Sharing the Share Folder and Upload Folder with Clients; OR
- Re-share the document via email to the nominated email address, to add them to Collaborate. Refer to Sharing Documents with Clients and External Users
