How to Troubleshoot Login Issues for Encompass Users

User Received an 'Invalid Username/Email or password' Notification

  1. If the user entered the correct username but an incorrect password, a failed login attempt will be recorded on their record in the Users Table in the Logon Failure Count field
    ​
    ​

  2. If the User entered an incorrect Username, the Logon Failure Count field shows '0'
    ​
    -If the User entered an incorrect Password, the Logon Failure Count field shows a number greater than 0
    ​
    ​

  3. To see the Logon Failure Count memo, click the Number to access the Authentications record
    ​
    ​

  4. Click the Audit button and look for the Edit Memo
    ​
    ​

  5. If the Edit Memo is set to AutoSync, it is possible that the user is auto-filling the wrong passwords on Encompass mobile/PC
    ​
    ​NOTE: The device logging in is in this memo such as a PC, iOS device, or Android device.

User received a 'Login attempts exceeded the limit for this user' Notification
​

  1. When the maximum number of login attempts on either server is reached, the account will be locked out. This will require the user to reset their password in order to log in to Encompass

  • Mobile app/desktop login = 10 attempts

​

  1. The EveryonePermission has to be granted on the role or user permissions in order to log in, contact a manager or admin from your company to add these permissions, if needed
