The error message occurs when the email address has already been associated with another user who can either be an agent/requester. In order to proceed further on this, please ensure the following checks are done:

• Try searching the email address on the global search bar.

• If the search does not yield results, the email address is probably associated with a deleted requester. To find this, please navigate to Admin-->Requesters-->Deleted and check if the email address has been associated as a primary or secondary email to the requester profile.

• If it exists, please restore the user and convert the requester to an agent.
