This article covers basic troubleshooting steps for Webex User Access issues, as well as data to gather before contacting support.

Login issues

Troubleshooting Tips:

  1. If you have an active account:
  • Test on an alternate browser or incognito window.
    • Google Chrome: Click on the three dots on the top right corner of the browser or Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • Firefox: Click on the three dashes on the top right corner of the browser or Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Microsoft Edge: Click on the three dots on the top right corner of the browser or Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • Safari: In the Safari app on your Mac, choose File > New Private Window, or switch to a private window that is already open. A private window has a dark Smart Search field with white text.
  • If it works fine, clear cache and cookies.
    • Clear Cache and Cookies in your Web Browser.
  • Are you using the browser’s saved password? If yes, try to manually type in the password.
  • If the issue is occurring even on a different browser, reset the password using the Forgot password option.
    • How to reset or create your password?
  • Test on a personal device.
  • If necessary, ask the admin to deactivate your account and then reactivate it.
    • Contact your Webex site administrator.
  1. If your account is deactivated:
  • Account needs to be activated by an admin. Contact your Webex Site Administrator to get your account activated.
    • Error: 'Your account has been deactivated. Please contact your site administrator.'
    • Users list in Control Hub.
  1. If your account is locked:
  • For the site managed by Site Administration, the admin should check if the account is set to auto-unlock by navigating to Configuration > Common Site Settings > Options > Automatically unlock the account after __ minutes.
  • For CI accounts, try logging in after a few minutes.
    • Review information related to Smart Lockout:
      • Password Management in Control Hub
  1. If the account is not verified (You have not activated the account):
  • Search for the account verification email and click the link to activate the account.
    • If the email cannot be found or if the link has expired, click the Resend activation email link on the login page. For more reference, check the article below:
      • Webex Account Activation User Email Not Received
  • If necessary, ask the admin to resend the activation email from Control Hub.  Click here: Contact information for the Webex site administrator.
