Failed Saving User Settings Error When Assigning a Contact Center License

Symptom

When attempting to assign a 8x8 Contact Center (X6, X7, X8) license to a user in Admin Console, you encounter the error Failed saving user settings. 

Applies To

• Admin Console
• 8x8 Contact Center
• X Series X6, X7, X8 licenses

Resolution

This issue is potentially caused by one of the following known root conditions:

• The user is assigned an extension the system has recognized as already in use elsewhere
• The 8x8 Contact Center license you are trying to assign to the user is not available for another reason

Trying to assign a license not related to a 8x8 Contact Center user? See Failed Saving User Settings Error When Assigning a License in 8x8 Admin Console.

Special characters

Make sure there are no special characters in First name, Last name, Username.

Confirm and Correct Extension Conflict

1. In the Virtual Contact Center (VCC) agent settings on the user's edit page in Admin Console, identify the suggested Extension number. Make note of this number.
   
   
   

2. Log in to Admin Console.
3. In Admin Console, under Users, search for a user with the filter PBX# and the Extension number noted in Step 1.
4. If a user is returned in the results, create a case with 8x8 Support to correct this. In the meantime, continue below to add the 8x8 Contact Center license to the user.
5. Return to Admin Console and the user's Virtual Contact Center (VCC) agent settings.
6. Manually enter a different Extension number that is not already in use.
7. Scroll down and Save your changes.

Confirm License Availability

Following a recent upgrade request or service cancellation, it is possible you may have suspended licenses on the account that are erroneously shown as available in the user license dropdown. Alternatively, you may have technically available licenses currently assigned to deactivated users. To review and correct for this possibility, see Failed Saving User Settings Error When Assigning a License in 8x8 Admin Console.

Cause

Extension Conflict

Admin Console is suggesting a user extension that is already in use by another 8x8 Contact Center user, which is blocking the settings from being saved. This can happen if:

• A 8x8 Contact Center user has not successfully been removed from the 8x8 Contact Center when the license was removed from them in Admin Console or
• A 8x8 Contact Center extension number change has not successfully completed.

License Availability

Suspended licenses that are stuck on the account after a cancellation or upgrade request are causing that license type to appear in the dropdown menu. Suspended licenses are not allowed to be assigned to users.

Alternatively, technically available licenses may currently be assigned to deactivated users.
