Update Client - No access - You have no access to this page

If you find yourself locked out of the Nodinite Update Tool, inherit an existing Nodinite installation, or are denied access, you will encounter the 'No Access' landing page. This guide helps you quickly regain access and restore administrative control.

✅ Regain access to the Nodinite Update Tool in minutes
✅ Step-by-step instructions for updating user and group permissions
✅ Secure your environment and prevent future lockouts

No Access
The 'No Access' landing page appears when your account lacks the required permissions.

To resolve access issues, update the access settings in the configuration file. The default path is:
C:\Program Files\Nodinite\Nodinite Update\UpdateClient\App_Data\settings.json

Tip

Open the file with Notepad elevated, or use Notepad++ for a better editing experience.

Example: Current settings with a single user:

...
  "ActiveDirectoryUsers": [
    {
      "Name": "NODINITE-DEV04\\N-Svc"
    }
  ],
  "ActiveDirectoryGroups": [],
...

To add a new user (e.g., NODINITE-DEV04\John):

...
  "ActiveDirectoryUsers": [
    {
      "Name": "NODINITE-DEV04\\N-Svc"
    },
    {
      "Name": "NODINITE-DEV04\\John"
    }
  ],
  "ActiveDirectoryGroups": [],
...

To clear all access (not recommended for production):

...
  "ActiveDirectoryUsers": [],
  "ActiveDirectoryGroups": [],
...
