downgrading from Premium/Ultimate, Auditor users who try to sign in
may see the following message: `Access denied for your LDAP account`.
We have a workaround, based on toggling the access level of affected users:
1. As an administrator, go to **Admin Area > Overview > Users**.
1. Select the name of the affected user.
1. In the user's administrative page, press **Edit** on the top right of the page.
1. Change the user's access level from **Regular** to **Admin** (or vice versa),
and press **Save changes** at the bottom of the page.

1. Restore the user's original access level (**Regular** or **Admin**)
and press **Save changes** again.
The user should now be able to sign in.
