Login — How To: I Logged In but Cannot See the Left Menu or Perform Any Action (No Access Profile Assigned)

Modified on Wed, 18 Feb at 6:01 PM

Purpose

Identify and resolve situations where you can log in to Engage, but the left-side menu does not appear and no actions are available. This usually means no access profile has been assigned to your user.


Before You Start

  • Confirm you were able to log in successfully.

  • Confirm you are using the correct company email.

  • Confirm you are currently an active employee.

⚠️ This issue is not related to password problems.


What Is Happening

If you log in and:

  • The left-side menu does not appear

  • You only see a blank dashboard or minimal screen

  • You cannot access Time Entries, Requests, Vacation, or any other module

This indicates your user does not have an access profile assigned (e.g., Employee profile).


Steps to Resolve

Step 1 — Confirm Login Was Successful

  1. Log in normally.

  2. Verify your name appears in the top-right corner.

If your name appears but no menu is visible, proceed to Step 2.


Step 2 — Contact HR or System Administrator

Send a message to your HR team requesting confirmation of:

  • Whether your user has an access profile assigned

  • Whether the Employee profile is correctly linked to your user

  • Whether your employment status is active in the system


Only HR or system administrators can:

  • Assign an access profile (e.g., Employee)

  • Correct permission settings

  • Reactivate an inactive user

  • Fix configuration issues


Important Rules

  • Engage access depends on two things:

    1. Active user

    2. Assigned access profile

  • Without a profile, the system allows login but does not display functional menus.

  • This is a configuration issue, not a technical system error.

  • Engage support cannot assign profiles directly — this must be done internally by your company administrator.


Common Issues

Issue: I can log in but the screen is empty
Likely cause: No access profile assigned.
How to solve: Ask HR to assign the Employee profile to your user.


Issue: I was hired today and cannot access menus
Likely cause: Profile not yet configured.
How to solve: HR must complete user setup and profile assignment.


Issue: I changed roles and lost system access
Likely cause: Previous profile removed without new one assigned.
How to solve: HR must review and correct your profile permissions.
