In Azure DevOps organizations that are connected to Microsoft Entra, you may spot (duplicated) users
with email prefixed with OIDCONFLICT_UpnReuse_{OID_HERE} (i.e. when trying to give them access or when mentioning them): Such users are neither visible in the Azure DevOps Web UI under Organization settings > General > Users nor when querying all users via graph or via the Azure DevOps CLI.
