Each time we try using password assistant this is what we receive. Has anyone seen this before?

@jmerwin Thank you for submitting your question to community. We are happy to see you here!

So with this error message, this is typically one of two issues. First, the account you provided, the connector app to connect to, does not have the necessary permissions to reset passwords. The second would be running the app as a non- admin. I suggest looking into the two fixes and letting me know which one works for you! 😄


I gave the account the permissions in the setup document. I tried running the app as administrator with the same results.


@jmerwin Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Go ahead and submit a ticket to support then. They will be able to give you a more clear answer! 😄


I have a ticket in and was just told it's being worked on. 


@jmerwin Glad to hear it! Hope this will get resolved soon for you! 😄
