Fix proper access error

Troubleshooting steps to resolve a proper access error.

If you're trying to login into the and receive a "You need proper access to use this application" error, it may be because:
  • You're trying to join a webinar, training, or meeting after logging into the GoTo app with a free GoTo account.
  • You don't have a GoTo product license that allows you to use the GoTo app.

Check out these troubleshooting tips if one of these reasons applies to you.

Joining a webinar, training, or meeting with a free GoTo account

If you're getting this proper access error after you signed into the GoTo app, it could be because you have a free GoTo account, or an account with a GoTo license that doesn't allow access to the GoTo app.

You don't need to create a GoTo account or login to the GoTo app to join a webinar, training, or meeting. To avoid this error and join your webinar, training, or meeting, try one of these methods:

  • Sign out of the GoTo app and join as a guest with the session ID.
    • On the GoTo app homepage, select Join a session.
    • Enter the session ID (provided in your confirmation email or meeting invite), then select Join.

    Process for joining a webinar using the Webinar ID in the GoTo mobile app.
  • Join the meeting, training, or webinar from the confirmation email or meeting invite. Here's how:
    • Webinar: Open your webinar registration email and select Join Webinar. If you have the GoTo app installed, this will open the app and take you directly to the webinar join screen. Learn more
      Webinar registration confirmation email with a call out over the Join Webinar button.
    • Training: Open the training registration confirmation email and select Join. If you have the GoTo app installed, this will open the app and take you directly to the training join screen. Learn more
      Registration confirmation email for a training session with a call out over the Join button.
    • Meeting: Open the meeting invite and select the join meeting link (e.g., https://meet.goto.com/<uniqueid>). If you have the GoTo app installed, this will open the app and take you directly to the meeting join screen. Learn more
      Meeting invite with call out over the join session link.
If you don't have a registration confirmation email or access to the session ID to join the meeting, training, or webinar, you will need to contact the session organizer.

Missing a GoTo Connect license

If you believe you should have a paid license to use the GoTo app while signed in, you will need to contact a system admin to make sure you're assigned the correct license in GoTo Admin. System admins can follow these steps:
  1. Sign in to GoTo Admin from your desktop computer.
    Restriction: Currently, GoTo Admin can't be accessed from a phone or tablet.
  2. From the left navigation, select Users.
  3. Search for and select the desired user.
  4. Select the Products tab.
  5. Ensure the user has a GoTo Connect license enabled. If they don't, select the toggle next to that product to assign it.
    Note: If you don't have any available licenses to assign to the user, you will need to purchase a new license first. Learn more
  6. Select Save.
What to do next: Once the GoTo Connect license is assigned, instruct the user to try signing in to the GoTo mobile app. If the user is still not able to sign in, please select Contact Support in this article.
