  • Did you gave him permission to CP access or associated him with Admin group?

  • Seems like a permissions problem. How did you create this user? Did you give them the ability to access the CP? Do you have different user groups?

If a user gets that message when logging in, then it means they haven't been assigned the "Access the CP" permissions in the Control Panel, either directly or through a User Group that they belong to.
