Fix "you don't have access to this" SSO login error
This error normally means that you have logged into Oxford SSO using an email address instead of your Oxford username
Symptoms
When you login to an SSO-protected service you see an error message saying “You don’t have access to this” just underneath your non-Oxford email address. The message also says “Your sign-in was successful, but you don’t have permission to access this resource.”
Solution 1: sign in with Oxford username
This error normally indicates that you tried to login using an email address instead of your Oxford username. In this case you will be able to login as follows:
- Click Sign out and sign in with a different account
- At the login screen enter your Oxford username in the format abcd1234@OX.AC.UK
- Complete the password and multifactor authentication steps
Solution 2: clear browser
Previous activities in your web browser could cause this error. To check if this is the case, login using a private or incognito browser window. If that works then you can probably fix the issue by clearing your browser.
