# Accounts are created without known triggers in Dynamics 365
12
+
13
+
This article addresses an issue where accounts are automatically created in Dynamics 365 without any known user actions or triggers. This issue can apply to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Sales, or other model-driven apps where accounts are used.
14
+
15
+
## Symptoms
16
+
17
+
Accounts are automatically created in Dynamics 365 apps without any manual input or recognized triggers.
18
+
19
+
## Cause
20
+
21
+
The issue might occur due to one or more of the following reasons:
22
+
23
+
- Unintended automation or scripts: Background processes running without proper controls can cause unintended account creation.
24
+
- Misconfigured ARC rules: Automatic record creation (ARC) rules might be mistakenly set to create accounts based on specific triggers, such as incoming emails or external data.
25
+
- Unmonitored Power Automate flows: Flows with triggers related to account creation might be running without proper oversight.
26
+
- Plugins and custom scripts: Background plugins are configured to create accounts under specific conditions.
27
+
- Dataverse APIs or third-party services: External applications connected via the Dataverse API might create accounts in the system.
28
+
- Unauthorized access or security breaches: A potential security issue might allow unauthorized processes or users to create accounts.
29
+
30
+
To identify the cause:
31
+
32
+
- Sequentially disable suspicious areas, such as ARC rules, Power Automate flows, plugins, and external integrations.
33
+
- Re-enable each component individually while monitoring the environment to pinpoint the source of automatic account creation.
34
+
35
+
## Resolution
36
+
37
+
Follow these steps to help you identify and address the root cause of the issue resulting in unintended account creation.
38
+
39
+
### Step 1: Review ARC rules
40
+
41
+
1. Navigate to **Customer Service admin center** > **Case settings** > **Automatic record creation and update rules**.
42
+
43
+
2. Inspect all rules related to accounts:
44
+
- Verify if rules are configured to trigger account creation under specific conditions (for example, incoming emails, forms, or external data).
45
+
- Check if any rules inadvertently target the account entity instead of other entities like leads or contacts.
46
+
47
+
3. Temporarily deactivate ARC rules one by one to identify if they're responsible for the issue.
48
+
49
+
### Step 2: Inspect Power Automate flows
50
+
51
+
1. Go to **Power Automate** > **Solutions** (if applicable) or **My Flows/Team Flows**.
52
+
53
+
2. Look for any flows with triggers related to account creation, such as the "When a record is created" flow.
54
+
3. Review the configurations and connections of each flow to ensure security and proper setup.
55
+
4. Temporarily turn off flows to see if the automatic account creation stops.
56
+
57
+
### Step 3: Check plugins and custom scripts
58
+
59
+
1. Navigate to **Advanced settings** > **Customization** > **Customize the System**.
60
+
2. Under **Plugins**, review all plugins targeting the account entity:
61
+
- Check if any plugins are set to create accounts automatically based on specific conditions.
62
+
- Identify and assess outdated or suspicious plugins.
63
+
64
+
3. Disable plugins temporarily to test if the issue persists.
65
+
66
+
### Step 4: Review security and access logs
67
+
68
+
1. Review the [audit logs](/dynamics365/customer-service/administer/enable-audit-tables#activities-available-for-audit) to identify:
69
+
- The user or process responsible for creating the accounts.
70
+
- Any unusual or unauthorized access attempts.
71
+
72
+
1. If API calls are enabled, verify whether external applications make unexpected account creation requests.
73
+
74
+
### Step 5: Review third-party integrations
75
+
76
+
1. Check for external apps connected to your environment via Dataverse APIs or custom connectors.
77
+
2. Temporarily disable these integrations to determine if they're causing the problem.
78
+
3. Check the logs for unauthorized or unintended API requests related to account creation.

# Cases are auto-created even if the automatic record creation rule is deactivated
12
+
13
+
This article addresses an issue where [cases are automatically created from emails](/dynamics365/customer-service/administer/automatically-create-update-records) even after the automatic record creation (ARC) rule has been deactivated or deleted in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service.
14
+
15
+
## Symptoms
16
+
17
+
Cases continue to be auto-created from emails even if the ARC rule has been deactivated or deleted.
18
+
19
+
## Cause
20
+
21
+
This issue can occur if the ARC rule depends on a child flow in Power Automate that remains active even after the main rule is deactivated or deleted. The active child flow can continue to trigger automatic case creation.
22
+
23
+
## Resolution
24
+
25
+
To stop the automatic case creation, follow these steps to identify and deactivate the associated child flow.
26
+
27
+
1. Identify the associated child flow:
28
+
29
+
- Go to **Customer Service Admin Center** > **Case settings** > **Automatic record creation and update rules**.
30
+
31
+
1. Locate the ARC rule that was previously deactivated or deleted.
32
+
1. Check for any associated child flows that might still be active.
33
+
34
+
- If the flow was created as part of a Dynamics 365 solution, navigate to **Power Automate** > **Solutions**. Review all flows related to record creation.
35
+
36
+
2. Deactivate the associated child flow:
37
+
38
+
1. Open the identified flow in Power Automate.
39
+
1. Select **Edit** to inspect the flow structure.
40
+
1. Turn off the flow by selecting the toggle button at the top of the flow editor or from the flow list.
41
+
42
+
3. Verify the fix:
43
+
44
+
1. Send a test email or trigger the condition that previously generated cases.
45
+
1. Confirm that cases are no longer automatically created.

# Record owner unexpectedly set to "# SSSAdminProd"
12
+
13
+
This article explains why the "# SSSAdminProd" system account may appear as the **Owner** or **Modified By** user of records in Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and steps to change the ownership.
14
+
15
+
## Symptoms
16
+
17
+
You might encounter the following behavior in Dynamics 365 Customer Service:
18
+
19
+
- The "# SSSAdminProd" system account is listed as the user who modifies cases in queues.
20
+
- The "# SSSAdminProd" system account is assigned as the owner of newly created records, such as cases or contacts.
21
+
22
+
As a result, some users can't view records created or modified by the "# SSSAdminProd" account.
23
+
24
+
## Cause
25
+
26
+
The "# SSSAdminProd" account appears as the user who modifies cases or owns newly created records, which is typically linked to the use of an Automatic Record Creation (ARC) rule.
27
+
28
+
The ARC rule or Power Automate flow might be configured to run in the context of a specific user account, usually a [system-provided application user](/power-platform/admin/system-application-users#application-users), such as "# SSSAdminProd."
29
+
30
+
For example, when a case record is created through an ARC rule and the rule owner is a team, the owner of the case record is the team's administrator user. In this case, "# SSSAdminProd" might be the administrator user for the team that owns the rule. If "# SSSAdminProd" is the owner of the ARC rule or associated flow, the account appears as the user performing actions such as:
31
+
32
+
- Creating new contact records when unknown senders send emails.
33
+
- Creating cases as part of the email-to-case process.
34
+
35
+
## Resolution
36
+
37
+
To resolve the issue, reassign the ownership of the ARC rule to an appropriate user or service account with the required privileges. Follow these steps:
38
+
39
+
1. Go to **Customer Service admin center** > **Case Settings** > **Automatic Record Creation and Update rules**.
40
+
2. Identify the ARC rule causing the issue and reassign its owner to a user or service account with the required privileges.
41
+
3. Save the changes and publish the rule.

If the incoming email is in response to an already tracked email associated with a case, no new case will be created. If the **InReplyTo** value matches the **MessageId** of an email that's already in Dynamics 365, server-side synchronization correlates the new email with the existing one, and the "Automatic record creation and Update" rule skips case creation for the new email.

By default, a contact for an unknown email sender is created with the email owner context. A case might not get created if the email owner doesn't have the required permissions. Alternatively, you may choose to use the rule owner permissions to create the new contact by configuring the `msdyn_ArcCreateContactWithRuleOwner` environment variable. For more information, see [Create contacts for unknown senders using rule owner context](/dynamics365/customer-service/automatically-create-update-records?tabs=customerserviceadmincenter#create-contacts-for-unknown-senders-using-rule-owner-context).

Navigate to the "Automatic record creation and Update" rules and ensure that an active "Automatic record creation and Update" rule exists for the queue to which the email was sent. If no "Automatic record creation and Update" rule exists for the queue to which the email was sent, a case won't be created since there won't be any matching rule and condition.
73
+
74
+
## Symptom 2
75
+
76
+
When you use Automatic Record Creation (ARC) rules in Dynamics 365 Customer Service, you might receive one of the following error messages at runtime:
77
+
78
+
-> Error matching conditions. Contact Microsoft Support
79
+
80
+
-> Unknown error matching rules. Contact Microsoft Support
81
+
82
+
As a result, the ARC rule fails to create cases from emails.
83
+
84
+
### Cause
85
+
86
+
This issue occurs when the account under which the ARC rules are running is deleted or disabled. This causes the associated Power Automate flow to become disconnected.
87
+
88
+
### Resolution
89
+
90
+
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
91
+
92
+
1. Go to **Customer Service admin center** > **Case Settings** > **Automatic Record Creation and Update Rules**.
93
+
2. Verify the account under which the ARC rules are running. Ensure that the account is active and isn't deleted or disabled.
94
+
3. Disable the affected ARC rule.
95
+
4. Re-enable the ARC rule to re-establish the connection with the associated Power Automate flow.
