Symptom
After enabling the option "Dynamic User Creation" under Step 3 of System->Administration->Security, users are not being created when they logon for the first time, but instead get the error "Unable to authenticate your credentials"
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud 2026.2.6
Reproducing the Issue
- Enable Dynamic User Creation option
- Attempt to logon as a new user
- Get error "Unable to authenticate your credentials"
Cause
This can happen if there are any default roles set to use a concurrent license when the tenant no longer has any concurrent licenses available.
Resolution
To resolve the issue, go to security->Roles, and for each role that has been designated as a default role do the following:
- Click the gear option in the upper right and uncheck the option "Use as default role"
- Save the role
- Click the gear option in the upper right and check the option "Use as default role" back on
- Save the role
This will change the role back to a named user license as concurrent licenses are not available on the tenant to be assigned to.
