User in t_metuser but not SQL server users

Wondering if anyone's seen this before:

Yesterday created a new user. Got an error that the user couldn't be created. Cancelled out of the error window,but the user visibly existed in security. Checked t_metuser, user exists there. But the user can't log in, gets "invalid SQL server logon specified", and in SQL server, the user isn't listed under users and presumably doesn't exist.

Would it be safe to just delete the row from t_metuser and create the user again from scratch through security? Or am I in "open a ticket, look into it further" land?

    Amanda,

     

    You need to delete any user groups associated then you can delete them from the user’s list in the security  module or in the table. I’ve done that a few times myself.  It isn’t advised if they have done any work in Tessitura, if they have it is better to just inactivate them and rebuild a different user account but if they have not done any work in Tessitura yet then you are ok to delete them very carefully.

     

    Thank you have a good day!

    You could also try dropping this one user login in Security and then create the single login in Security to see if the SQL login gets created.

  • D'oh. I feel silly now. Delete button. Should've thought of that.

    Forgot to mention I had tried drop/create on the one.

    She'd never logged in so I did just successfully remove her user groups, delete and recreate the login successfully. Thanks Noami and Bob.
