Excel Data Migration has it's own permission set: FNDMIG_EXCEL_ADDIN.  Has that been granted to this user?

Thanks Sandun for the solution.

Maybe not really needed, but I had the user remove the Com Add in from Excel before removing the program via the control panel.

You can’t use the link that has been gone in my original question. Select it via:

Selecting Add-ons will present a list of add-ons available

I’m using IFS Apps 9, trying to add excel migration, and I cannot find the add-ons page that you’re referecing. Is it in IFS or is it somewhere on the website?
