Permission Denied Error Message

Problem: You're encountering "Permission Denied" errors when logging into DOCLINE.

Cause: Mismatch between the email address DOCLINE expects and the one sent during authentication.
OR Mismatch between the authentication method DOCLINE was expecting. 

Solutions:

  1. Check CAS Username/Authentication Method:
    • In the DOCLINE error message, locate the "Username" and/or "Authenticated by" displayed.
    • If it doesn't match the email you intended to use, you may have entangled accounts.
       
  2. Disentangle Google Accounts:
    • Log out of all accounts (GoogleLogin.gov, or Research Organization) in the problematic browser.
    • Clear your browser cache and history.
    • Try logging in again with the desired DOCLINE email address or authentication method.
       
  3. New Account (Last Resort):
    • If regaining control of your original account (GoogleLogin.gov, or Research Organization) is not possible, create a new corresponding account.
    • Request a new DOCLINE user account associated with this new email address.
    • Remember to completely log out of all other accounts before using the new one for DOCLINE.
       
  4. Utilize Different Browsers:
    • Consider using dedicated browsers for different accounts. For example, Edge/IE for work and Firefox/Chrome for personal use.

Additional Tips:

  • If the above solutions fail, try logging in with a different, unused browser for your authentication method.
  • Ensure you're using the correct email address associated with your DOCLINE account.
