What happens to already invited users?

Let's assume, that you have configured a Microsoft Entra ID integration for the email domain mycompany.com for your PPHM instance.

All existing accounts that have an '@mycompany.com' email address, will be switched automatically to Microsoft Entra ID authentication flow, when entering their email address next time in the login form. These accounts will only be able to log in through the Microsoft Entra ID authentication flow.

All invited users that do NOT have a mycompany.com email address, will be using the default authentication flow with the email address and password.

How to fix "CANNOT READ PROPERTY 'INDEXOF' OF UNDEFINED" error

When you get this error, the regarding user's Email property is empty in his/her Entra ID user account. Please update the user account by entering the email address to the Email property and try logging in again.
