AndreasM1976Still facing the same problem with "Access denied".

It was working for some years. After the last update to 1.4.2212.08003 on Server 2016 non privileged users get "Access denied".

Login with privileged user works. Updates were installed on the first login but the error remains to all no privileged users. Putting one of this accounts into priv. users let's him login, but after removing privileges the error returns.

Are there any fixes available ?

**Edit**: Mathieu Desjardins with access direct to server connections it's working. But that is only a workaround. We need a fix.
