Hi NRuest 

I don't understand.

What if I define 5 IdP's in the Azure Organizational Relationships -- Identity Providers interface.

I invite a new user and the user accepts the invitation (during this process the user is not pinned to one of the IdP's)

How does Azure AD direct federation functionality know to which of the 5 IdP's it should redirect the user for authentication when the user accepts the invitation ?

Second complication : What can or should happen if this user has an account at 2 or more of the 5 IdP's ?
