A 503 error during user creation in the directory often points to a simple formatting issue with the email address. 

This article will help you troubleshoot the cause.

This error typically occurs when the email address entered contains leading or trailing whitespace. Even a single space before or after the email can trigger the error.

2. Resolution

To resolve the issue:

1. Confirm the email address is correct.
2. Remove any spaces at the beginning or end of the email address.
3. Attempt to create the user again.

If the error persists even after confirming the email format is correct, reach out to us.
