Adding a New User

Problem❌

When adding a user to the LENS board from the User Management page, you receive the error message that the "User Already Exists"

Solution ✅

This error message indicates that the user's email already exists somewhere in the system.

  • Check the spelling of the email address

  • Ask the user to request access to the board

  • View archived users in the "Unassigned" board under the board picker and search for the user

  • Select all boards under the board picker and search for the user
