App shows installed but someone can't use it

Your workspace has the app, but a person gets locked out anyway.

Your workspace has the app, but a person gets locked out anyway.

App access is layered: subscription, department toggles, and role. A person being blocked means one of those layers is blocking them.

Follow these steps:

  1. Confirm the subscription — the app must be installed workspace-wide (Apps / Settings > Modules).

  2. Check the department toggle — Departments → the person's department → confirm the app is enabled.

  3. Check the role/permission — Settings > Access Control → confirm the person's role grants the needed permission.

  4. Check onboarding/billing gates — some apps stay hidden until workspace setup or billing is complete.

  5. Check the person's account — confirm they are Active and not a portal (client) user.

  6. Have them sign out and back in — access recalculates on the next auth.
