Question

When adding a user to my team, I'm getting the error, "Something went wrong while saving. Error ID: NwkR4FDhOEdAc6z70MoMCsSsSHWZFrQU"

We have a team account using the Adobe Business ID as the directory.  A user had a personal adobe account in addition to her team account, and she was having issues, so I asked her to delete her personal account, and I deleted her team account.  Now, I can’t add her back to the team.  When I try to add the email address to the team, I get the error “Something went wrong while saving. Error ID:” (the error ID is gibberish that changes each time I try).

Using a different browser as well as a private/incognito window gives the same error.  I checked that the user is not shown in the Business ID directory.

What do I do to add this email address again?

    I got on a call with a support rep, and I was able to re-add the business account.   The fix was having the recently deleted personal account retrieved by logging on to the account and answering the prompt to retrieve the account.  Then I could add the email address as a user in the admin account, so we are back where we started.  I don’t know if she is going to continue to have the issues that prompted me to delete and re-add the account in the first place, but this particular issue is resolved.

    Thanks.

    As I mentioned in the last sentence of my original post, “I checked that the user is not shown in the Business ID directory.”  It was deleted there too.

    Going to the Admin console > Support, what option should I use there?  I tried “Start Chat”. I get a chatbot which doesn’t understand what I’m asking and either tells me I’m not the contract owner (which I am) or keeps asking me which app I’m asking about.  Absolutely useless.  If I click on the Manage support cases link, I get a page with the error, “Unable to load data.  An error occurred.  Please try again”.

    Hi ​@defaultz459f0hiwi6x

     

    We sincerely apologize for the oversight in our previous response. Your original post clearly stated the user was not showing in the Business ID directory and we should have acknowledged that before responding.

    Since the email address has been fully removed from both Users and Directory Users and the error persists, this requires direct investigation by Adobe Customer Care with backend access to your account.

    Given that the chat option and support case page are not working as expected, please try the following:

    • Visit adobe.com/support, ensure you are logged-in with Adobe ID and password. Select your product and use the phone support option to reach Adobe Customer Care directly. Please have the following ready when you call:
      • The email address you are trying to add
      • A recent error ID from the error message
      • A screenshot of the error

    We have also flagged this thread internally for follow up.

    We are sorry for the difficulty you are experiencing and appreciate your patience.

    Hi ​@defaultz459f0hiwi6x,

    Thanks for the detailed rundown of what happened with both accounts, it helps a lot. Sounds like you've already covered the obvious browser stuff, so let's look at what's left.

    Here's the thing that usually trips this up: when you remove a user from the Users list, they're still retained in the Directory Users list. That leftover entry can then block you from adding the same address back. So before anything else, head to Users > Directory Users in the Admin Console and open the Business ID directory. If you spot the address there, select it and click Remove Users to clear it out permanently, then try adding the user again. The steps are here if you want them handy: https://adobe.ly/4wF69EC

    While you're at it, double-check the email is typed exactly as her current Adobe account address, since even a small mismatch can trip it up.

    If she's not sitting in Directory Users and you're still hitting the error, that's our cue to dig into it. Go ahead and open a case through Admin Console > Support, and pass along the email you're adding, one of the recent error IDs, and a screenshot of the error. That'll give us what we need to chase it down for you.

    Let us know how the Directory Users check goes.
     

    Thanks,
    ^AV
