Troubleshooting Tips

You might get an error message "Unable to add user at this moment. Troubleshoot here."  when you try to add a user. This might happen due to one of the following reasons:

  • The email address might have been registered already with one of our data centers. (An email address registered with the EU data center cannot be registered with our US data center.)
  • Something might have gone wrong at our end. You can either refresh the page and retry or try after sometime.
