Sonarqube authentication method issue

This account is already associated with another authentication method. Sign in using the current authentication method, or contact your administrator to transfer your account to a different authentication method.

sonar version- v10.6

So it looks like your user is authenticating via SAML – what authentication method are you using when you get this issue?

we are using saml only

any update

Hey @Rajnandini

Typically this error would appear when you’re logging in as a user with an external identity different than an existing user (I’ve pointed to what I mean by “external identity” in the screenshot you shared) but using the same e-mail address as the existing user.

Is it possible that this user’s external identity changed recently? You can update the user’s external identity using PATCH /api/v2/users-management/users/{id}
