Introduction
There are multiple reasons for a user being unable to log in. Below are the most common problems clients report in tickets concerning logging into the XTM Cloud platform.
...
Solution: If you believe this is a mistake, do not hesitate to contact your XTM Cloud project managers to address this issue and ask for the account to be reactivated.
Lack of Contractor’s available licenses for LSP’s linguists
In the case of subcontracted-only accounts, the root cause of the problem with logging into the XTM Cloud platform might be that the Contractor has reserved most of his licenses for internal use, which leaves less available licenses for LSPs. In other words, Licenses shared amongst LSPs might have simply run out, causing problems on your side.
If you are an LSP, to prevent this for happening in the future, your Contractor would have to access Configuration → Settings → System → Licenses → Licenses, and change the value of the licenses allocated to internal users to a smaller number than there is currently.

Locked account – Company issue
...
Solution: The feature that determines this time frame is configurable in the global settings of a particular XTM Cloud instance (administrative privileges required!), in Configuration → Settings → Security → Authentication → Disable account after non-use (days).

IMPORTANT! The account disablement feature is designed to function based on the number of full days elapsed since the last account activity + 24H. In the example above, if you have the said option set to 1 day, your account will be blocked after two full days of inactivity! This stems from the difference between the time hard coded on servers, and your local time. |
Therefore, there is no other option for you to log in than just to contact your project manager or administrator to unblock your account directly in the XTM Cloud UI.

IMPORTANT! The password duration feature is designed to function based on the number of full days elapsed since the last password change + 24H. In this context, if you have a password duration set to 1 day and change your password at 3:00 PM, the system will still consider your password valid until 3:00 PM of the next day. This is because less than 48 hours (2 full days) have passed. Therefore, your password will be valid for almost two full days before the system prompts you to change it. This stems from the difference between the time hard coded on servers, and your local time. |
Computer activation level → It specifies which users are subject to the computer activation protocol. If enabled, each user attempting to log in from another browser, cleared browser or another computer will receive an activation email to activate a new browser or a device.
