Resolution

In Global Assignment / Concurrent Employment scenarios, if a user's primary assignment doesn't have the login permission, the user will not be allowed to log in using an account name or primary assignment name. Additionally, the below error message will be displayed.

Note : This error message will appears for any user that does not have login permission for both Employee Central enabled instance and Non EC enabled instances for more details on how to check login permissions see 2410089 - RBP: How to check Login Permission?

The login behavior for GA/CE users will be as detailed below:

  • When using account name or primary assignment name, the system will check whether the primary assignment has the login permission.
  • When using other assignment usernames, if that username has login permission, then the system will let the user log in to the system without checking login permission of primary assignment.

Admins can check which username is assigned as primary assignment from Manage Login Account page. Below is the screen shot for the same.
