User license and status
The User Management section makes essential user information available on one page, eliminating the need to switch to other sections and cross-reference. The License column indicates all the app and bot licenses assigned to each MSPbots user according to his plan or bundle. The Status column also shows the user's status in the MSPbots system at a glance.
Why is a user's status automatically disabled? How is this resolved?
The MSPbots mapping regularly matches users in MS Teams with those in the ConnectWise or Autotask integration. This is automatically done when the user successfully integrates MSPbots with Connectwise or Autotask and MSPbots synchronizes the users' information.
- If mapping fails, the Teams user will be automatically disabled.
- If mapping is successful, the Teams user will be enabled.
The fields used for matching include the email of the Teams user and the email of the user from ConnectWise or Autotask integration.
How do you prevent the user's status from being automatically disabled?
Enabling the user's status prevents MSPbots from automatically disabling the user.
