Updating Email Address for Clients in MYOB Portal

I don't understand why MYOB won't allow you to update a user's (client) email address on the Portal.

(I think it's a bit inefficient to be honest, as some users are connected to multiple Portals.) Can someone please explain why this is the case? Or suggest a solution which doesn't involve creating a new user everytime a client changes their email address?

Or is creating a new user the only way to go about this?

  • This is even more frustrating when the client goes to approve something and they are still logged in as their old email or the user/pass prefills and they are calling up asking why they can't see the task.

      Agreed! This happened to me this morning. It's such a time waster.

    The email address is used behind the scene and linked to digital signatures applied to the documents.

     

    We recommend the old email user be renamed and then a new user added with the new email. 

     

    The old/incorrect email user can be removed from the portal if required.  This will stop them from being able to login with the old email address in error.
