Posted on by Harsh Patel 130

Hey, I'm currently on On-premises version of Business Central, I two non-demo companies and one demo company. I didn't know I was only allowed to have more than two non-demo companies on the server, and created new company. When I tried to login in it gave following error (please refer to picture). How can I delete the company when I can't switch companies?

    Hi, It looks like you have specified company in the permission set so that you cannot access companies other than this specified.

    I suggest you add a new user, then log in with the new user and modify the permissions of your current user.

    New-NAVServerUserPermissionSet:

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
