Unable to open a Word document in Microsoft Word Web App

Hello,

Such error will occur if the “User Profile Application (UPA)” is not synchronized. If a user profile and relevant group memberships for the users aren’t synced, SharePoint Server 2013 will deny to access the file or resource.

In order to solve this issue, you have to make sure that you have synchronized the “User Profile Service Application” is configured perfectly and synced fully with the user and group memberships to access the resource.
