1. Why would a user's status be automatically disabled and how to resolve?
Because MSPbots regularly match Teams users with users from Connectwise integration or Autotask integration through mapping.
Once the user successfully integrates with Connectwise or Autotask, and MSPbots synchronizes the user's information, it will automatically match the Teams user:
- If mapping fails, the Teams user will be automatically disabled.
- If mapping successes, 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 integration or Autotask integration.
How to prevent the user's status from being automatically disabled?
Once the admin manually enables the user's status, MSPbots will no longer automatically disable that user.
