Can you analyse permissions and make sure nothing is denying the relevant permission? Can you try adding the permission to a group rather than directly to the user and see if that fixes it?
Alter Ego Detector 1.7.8

I'll need to investigate then why it isn't working, as I haven't had this issue myself and this add-on is heavily used on my own sites.
I think it is just incorrect replacables.
The phrase aed_thread_subject has the replaceables {username1} and {username2},and the phrase aed_thread_subject_count has the replaceables {username} and {count}.
The IP detection originally had too large a window, and triggers on a single over-lapping value. I don't recommend using it in it's current form.
Without seeing what the shared IP was, it is hard to tell since it could be the result of a server miss-configuration or someone accessing the admin account from that IP and those users legitimately also coming from that IP.
Simply put, you need to investigate more.

Feature suggestion:
Just like we can tick a checkbox to ignore or include banned users.... how about one for discouraged users? I'd like to not check against users who are "discouraged" by me, for being an alter ego.

By default, the shared-ip testing is disabled.
Correct, but most people will use the same browser. It mostly catches low hanging fruit, with the rest being basically impossible to detect to how easy it is for VPNs and such to be used.
Is there a way to have it automatically take an action based on what alterego matches? By that I mean, I have all alter egos go to user moderation/users awaiting approval. If the alter ego matches on a cookie, I want to reject the registration and notify the user with the message "Multiple forum accounts not permitted." Is there any way to do that?
You can choose for all detected alter-egos to go into the moderation queue, but you'll need to send the message yourself.
I've noticed that, definitely on the todo list.

@XFuser you've left a 1 star review as a bug report less than 5 minutes after reporting a bug for a free add-on. IMO, this is an abuse of the review system.
I've discovered one of them is incorrectly setting the IP logging, but wished to confirm as there are two methods which could record an IP.
What reporting method are you using?
