A staff member cannot log in

Most sign-in problems come down to the account, the invite, or the subscription rather than the password itself.

The symptom

Someone cannot sign in to the app or the admin panel.

Quick checks

  1. Same login for both. The app and the admin panel use the same email and password. There is no separate app account.

  2. Have they accepted their invite? A person who never followed the invite email to set a password has no account yet.

Full diagnostic

  1. Confirm their account is active. A deactivated user cannot log in. Reactivate them under Team > Team Members if they should still have access.

  2. Confirm the invite was completed. If they never set a password, resend the invite so they can finish setting up.

  3. Check the email is right. Logging in with a different address from the one they were invited on will not work. Confirm the exact email on their team record.

  4. Reset the password. If they have forgotten it, use the forgot-password link to send a reset.

  5. Check two-factor if enabled. If two-factor is on, they need the current code as well as the password.

  6. Check the subscription. If the business subscription has lapsed or the trial has ended, access can be blocked until billing is sorted. See I hit a limit or got a payment prompt.

For signing in, switching accounts, and resetting a password, see Logging In and Troubleshooting Access.

When to contact support

If the account is active, the invite is complete, the email is correct, and the subscription is fine, and they still cannot get in, contact us at support@paddl-ai.co.

Staff are not getting push notifications

If reminders and alerts are not reaching a phone, the cause is usually the device, the notification settings, or the type of task.
