Resolution
Ensure Affected Users Have the Right Role
On 8x8 X Series, the My 8x8 Admin role is required to access the My 8x8 Support Portal. See Assigning Roles to an X Series User.
Contact 8x8 Support
If you are a direct 8x8 business customer experiencing this issue and are sure that proper roles are applied to the affected user(s), contact 8x8 Support via Otto, our Virtual Assistant. You can elect to chat with a live agent or receive a callback.
Cause
Direct or Non-Wholesale 8x8 Business Customers
For all 8x8 users who purchase service directly from 8x8 or through a non-wholesale partner, this is an intermittent issue typically related to one of the following:
- The My 8x8 Admin role is not assigned to the impacted user(s) in Admin Console. See Assigning Roles to an X Series User.
- Data sync issues following individual username changes (especially primary administrator changes). This is correctable with 8x8 Technical Support assistance.
Customers of Wholesale Partners
For all 8x8 users who purchase 8x8 service from a wholesale reseller, access to the My 8x8 Support Portal is restricted. Contact your reseller for assistance with technical support and account management.
