• This comes in the form of a system generated email notification sent to the user in question.

Check to see if there are conflicting email addresses as this is predominantly the cause.

1. This can be down to having an active and inactive employee with the same email address.
2. Occasionally users are mistakenly granted the same email address because the have matching surnames, with the first syllable of their forename also similar.

The problem lies in the fact that, the system can not identify the username and therefore it is unable to verify the requester's access credentials.
