we have an ongoing issue where with some employees, we get an ‘Netsuite Update Code: PSWD_REQD’ error. Only for a couple of employees, and we can’t figure out why. The logins are all handled by SSO
b
probably need to take a look at the web service logs
the guess would be that you are modifying a field related to the login of the employee
m
yeah its passing over the email address each time, but i just dont understand why its doing it for one employee and not the other.
b
change the email in the ui to see
netsuite treats changing the email of a user that already has access the same as giving a new person access to your account
m
Yeah that makes sense. So i can see that its failing for these people because it wipes the password when it changes the email address, and then won’t update due to a lack of password, which is fine. The issue is one went through last night, and changed the email without any problem, so we’re trying to figure out why.
b
again, if the ui allows, suitetalk will probably allow it
m
ui doesn’t allow! which is why its confusing
b
was the email changed to someone who has access to multiple accounts?
m
Just the one account, but two roles
b
thats the only way i know of that allows granting access without needing a password
im not sure if SSO adds any scenarios which adds to that list
m
hmm, maybe it’s SSO related. Ill log a call with NS support, thanks
b
i guess in a weird case you could have duplicate employees with the same emails in the same account
you might be able to tell from the web service response if there was a warning
m
So this is the message she received last night - You have not defined a password. OK to inherit existing password from other entity with same email?
b
that does seem to indicate the email was changed to a user that already exist
and thus already has a password
