Symptoms:

Environment:
Service Desk 14.1
Unified Self Service 14.1
Cause:
The account logged in to USS does not have an email account in SD that matches the existing one in USS or simply does not exist.
In order to work properly USS requires that all users that log in this application, must have the same email account stored both applications, this is per design otherwise the integration will not work properly
Resolution/Workaround:
Ensure that all the accounts that require to access USS, have the same email account in SD contact information and USS contact information under the Control Panel.
In SD log in the application with an administrator (i.e. Servicedesk), access the administrator tab->Security and role management-> contacts and select the contact required.
In USS control panel log with an administrator (i.e. CASMAdmin), access Users and Organizations and select the contact required.
