Troubleshooting a "User Id Mismatch" Error During Login

Overview​

This article describes how to resolve a "User Id Mismatch" response that you may receive when logging in to the Netwrix Privilege Secure for Access Management console, which prevents login. The response is caused by a mismatch between a Privilege Secure user stored in a cookie and the user attempting login. Generally this is caused when multiple sessions are being launched from the same browser using different users.
