Denials Report

Users may fail to obtain a license from License Vault due to access restrictions or the lack of available licenses. Every denied license request is shown in the Denials Report.

To open the Denials Report, select Stats in the menu on the left.

There you'll find aggregated statistics of all denied license requests, as well as a table listing all denials with accompanying details, such as the user's name, product, and why their request was denied.

The Denials Report provides data for the past 24 hours or 7 days. To change the time period, click the corresponding option in the upper-right corner.

Troubleshooting

The table below describes possible denial reasons in the Denials Report and possible solutions.

Denial reason	Cause	Possible solution
`No available licenses`	When a user requested a license for their product, all the licenses were already in use.	You can purchase more licenses for the relevant product or take advantage of the True-Up option.
`Forbidden by rule`	Access rules don't allow this user to get a license for this specific product.	Try checking the user's effective permissions to see if they are affected by any existing rules. If no rules affect the user, check if Global access to licenses is restricted in your License Vault.
