What to Do When Your UHRS Account is Inactive
Question details
The user needs to know how to handle an inactive UHRS account after being removed from a project, and whether creating a new account through another vendor is allowed.

- Product
- UHRS
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user was removed from a project by their vendor, resulting in an inactive account status, and wants to explore alternative access options.
- Observed behavior
- The UHRS account is locked or marked as inactive, preventing the user from accessing platform tasks.
Gather your vendor account details, vendor ID, and any recent email warnings or notifications regarding your project removal before reaching out for support.
Contact Your Original UHRS Vendor Support
Because UHRS accounts are administered by third-party vendors rather than Microsoft directly, you must contact your specific vendor to resolve inactivity issues.
Microsoft Community support does not have the administrative rights to reactivate or manage third-party vendor accounts. Only the vendor who originally provided your UHRS access can view your account standing and policy violations.
Navigate to the dashboard of the vendor you used to access UHRS (such as Clickworker, Appen, or OneForma).
Find the 'Help', 'Support', or 'Contact Us' menu within the vendor's platform.
Create a new ticket providing your UHRS ID. Ask for the specific reason your account was marked inactive and inquire if their policies allow you to create a new account or apply through a different vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just create a new UHRS account with a different vendor?
This highly depends on the strict guidelines set by UHRS and your specific vendors. Creating multiple accounts often violates terms of service and can lead to a permanent ban across all vendors. Always contact your original vendor to clarify the rules before attempting to open a new account.
Why was my UHRS account marked as inactive in the first place?
Accounts are typically marked inactive if you are removed from a specific project, fail to meet quality standards (such as dropping below a required spam score), or have been completely inactive for an extended period (often over 30 days). Your vendor can provide the exact reason.
Can Microsoft Support override a vendor and reactivate my UHRS account?
No, Microsoft Community and direct Microsoft Support teams cannot manage, troubleshoot, or reactivate UHRS accounts. You must resolve these administrative issues directly through the third-party vendor that initially granted you access.
