Error "Authorization failed" 

The error "Authorization failed" appears on the N-able N-central integration in the MSPbots app. 

This is possibly caused by an inactive or disabled user status in N-central. To resolve this, contact your administrator and ensure that your status is active. Once you confirm that your account is active, reconnect and authorize connection to MSPbots again.
