Hello @AnandShrivastava-322,

Thanks for reaching out.

Are you trying to add one of your Azure AD tenant as SAML/WS-Fed identity provider? if so then this is an expected behavior whereas Azure Active Directory users with an Azure Active Directory account can be invited via email and sign in without further configuration. They can also use Self-service sign up with User flows.

To lean more about Identity Providers for External Identities refer this article.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Siva

I'm having a similar issue and getting the same error. I am trying to setup a B2B relationship with our MSP for Sentinel and receive the same error. They are hosted in GSuite/Workspace. Can an MSP that wants to setup SSO for clients using AzureAD, can they have multiples of that? @sikumars-msft

I am also having the same issue, Here I am trying to add our own IDP that is using its own user store and IDP is saml 2p compliant.
