User already exists when creating an account but does not appear in the users list

💻 Environment/Context

  • Users access 
  • Account creation 
  • Disabled user
  • Error message

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • I'm trying to set an user up with an account but it's saying he already has one. However that contradicts the ScorePlay users list
  • I cannot find that person anywhere in the users list, so the message looks wrong

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Go to Users 
  • Open the Status filter and select Disabled 
  • Look for the person in the filtered list. A disabled account still holds the email address, which is why creating a new one is blocked
