This is caused by the service account being listed as removed externally and inactive (on the Users tab). The service user must have "No" listed for inactive/blocked/removed.
The reason why the service account is marked as removed externally and inactive is because it is not found when doing a sync to the UDC in use
The most common reason for this is that there is an LDAP filter in place which filters on a group where the service account is not a member of
Temporary Resolution: You can remove the LDAP filter and Sync the UDC in order to make the Qlik account in the QMC active again
To resolve this, tell the client's IT Dept to add the service account to the filtered group and resync the UDC (the change may take a few minutes to register so you may need to sync a few times)
