Changed admin username

After we got permission to get achievement code, we change the username to make it easy and ....

What should we do if change the admin username and forgot the old one :(

 

  • Hi vahix​ - not quite sure I follow. You created an email account to register for Microsoft Learn admin access and were able generate achievement codes? Then changed the username within the admin tool? 

    The quickest way to regain achievement code generation access is to create a new Learn admin account. Those get provisioned every day. Steps can be found in the achievement code doc in the Get Started document collection: https://aka.ms/GetStartedTSP

    Hi Vahix

    Seems the question is not complete.

    Still you should use MFA and as long you know the password you can change the user display name.

    Display name and UserPrincipalName the email-id are 2 different things.

    If you can rephrase your question then it will be much better to answer.

     

    Best wishes,

      Thank you for your comment. However, the issue was related to TSP permissions for retrieving achievement codes for courses, and they reassigned it to a new username. It appears that this permission is linked to the username.
