Hello, i had an ADO organization, i switch directory to another entra, went well.

after that, I bind ADO users to Entra USERS, went well.

because there is a domain migration between old and new tenant, i wanna change the UPN suffix of users in the new entra. And after that, users in ADO keep the old UPN (because is suppose the OID don't change, so no new bind required) and now, ADO says there is an error with this user, but dont wanna link with the new UPN and so users cannot login into ADO.

is there a way to update the user in ADO without deleting it and re-inviting it ? (because lot of workitems associate with the users)

thanks

    Identify users and get their OIDCONFLICT ids. Then check post for instructions how to remove CONFLICT users: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/yuriy-v-popov_azuredevops-devops-oidconflict-activity-7412549794000220160-b4oH

    We had a similar issue and the users had to sign in (InPrivate browser) using the new UPN/email and they were able to log in. As soon as they did, it worked and pushed the change through to DevOps and the email changed.

    Before that we seemed to be stuck in a loop where sending an invite wouldn't let them in.
