Introduction: Today, I received a call from one of the NAV Administrators stating the issue as if I try to access the User Card page for some users I receive the following error. Upon investigating it was clear that the Administrator by mistake deleted his own access to the company for all the users who have access to a different company. Even using the Administrators account I cannot get access to a different company. The condition here was that I cannot simply clear all User Access as per the blog below. https://www.sauravdhyani.com/2012/12/you-are-not-authorized-to-sign-in.html Pre- requisites :  Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central On-Premise Demonstration: 1.

  Introduction: I have been working in NAV/BC for a couple of years to master the craft and to some extent all of us are successful. But a single scenario/ user error/misunderstanding can create a big question mark. This blog is mainly divided into two parts 1.
