Access Not Authorized “You Signed in successfully but must be an xfinity user to enjoy this service”
I signed up for xfinity wifi with a gateway router. My service was set to start Jan 1. I received the router at the Philadelphia Location on 14th and Walnut successfully. I signed up to self install which is generally easy. The issue, is that when trying to set up the wifi, all paths - online, paper instructions, support robot at 1-800-xfinity, lead to the xfinity app as the sole method of activating the equipment. This would be no problem, except the app returns the following error every single time I try to sign in to activate my services
“Access not Authorized
You signed in successfully but must be an xfinity user to enjoy this service”
I am then unable to navigate anywhere within the app, because every time I sign in, I am met with this error, and no way to navigate away from it. So I can’t move into my new apartment till I get the wifi set up, but I’m also concerned that I will miss a bill because I elected paperless and I believe all billing will come due in the app interface. If any customer service rep could give me some pointers or ideas of what to do/why the app is breaking for my user, that would be amazing.
thank you

I to have this problem that started on 3/17. I get the error message, "Access not Authorized You signed in successfully, but you must be an Xfinity user to enjoy this service."
on the Xfi Icon on all devices. Also clicking on the TV icon on my Xifinty results in the error described to others above. "Please clear your browser's cache Sorry, we're having some trouble. Please clear your browser's cache and then refresh this page. (Error TVAPP-00114)" Streaming apps work fine on Iphone 11 and Ipad air2 IOS 15.4.
All other links on my Xfinity work properly such as my account, email, voice, etc.

This all seemed to start after I was automatically logged into Xfinty on the NCAA Final Four web site to watch basketball. Anyone else?

I have the same "Access not Authorized" problem on my HP desktop (but not my Samsung tablet or TV - don't have a laptop) as of yesterday, March 17th. After spending many minutes on the phone with very polite people who seem to be in India (both yesterday and again today) - clearing the cache, restarting the modem and computer on my end, and heaven-knows-what on their end - I was told to call HP. This makes no sense, as I too can access Xfinity mail, etc. It's only Stream and it's only on my desktop. If I'm told "You signed in successfully but you must be an Xfinity user to enjoy this service," it must be Xfinity's problem that all of a sudden it doesn't recognize me as a user on the same desktop I've been using for years.

Same issue for me. Watched NCAA yesterday on my mac, failing today with same error mentioned above. Works apps (ipad/iphone) but not on mac's.
xfinity, i'm guessing this is a known issue at this point. Please confirm.

I've been having the same problem for two days. Chatted with xfinity for over an hour without success. Cleared cash restarted router, restarted pc, logged out, successfully logged in. I can access everything except5 streaming tv to my PC which I've been doing for at least two or three years.

Same here. kicked off streaming, had to reset my password even. If you're going to make a change advance notice is a courtesy if not a legal requirement. I pay enough, to have to pay more for streaming to a computer is insulting and may be the last straw. Right now I would just like it fixed so my wife can watch our recorded shows and stop complaining to me like it's my fault.

I have found a way to stream again on my laptop PC. It involves adding a secondary user with "viewer" access. Good luck!
1-log into my.xfinity.com and signin with your normal primary ID/passwd
2-go to USERS
3-select ADD A NEW USER
4-Enter form with different USERNAME/PASSWD & answer a secret question
You should now be able to use this secondary ID/PASSWD to stream DVR recordings, live tv, etc as before 3/17 when account logic was changed for some reason for the primary user.
