Troubleshooting Tips

  • Users without managers will automatically be assigned a default manager
    • A Default Manager is the user who created SSO
      • The Default Manager can be changed to any user (if manager role or above) by emailing support@saleshood.com
  • If a user has a manager and the manager is provisioned into SalesHood, a team is created with all users of the same manager.
  • When users are deactivated in Okta or removed from the application, they will be deactivated in SkillsHood. You can reactivate the user by reassigning the user back to the application (using email as the identifier), all the data of the user will be kept.
