Error: AADSTS50177 – User does not exist in tenant and cannot access the application
This error means the user referenced in the delegated access attempt isn't recognized in the customer tenant. It typically results from a broken or missing GDAP relationship.
Cause: The delegated admin account or service principal may not be correctly assigned in the GDAP relationship, or the relationship has expired.
Resolution
Verify your GDAP relationship for the tenant:
- Confirm that the tenant has an active GDAP relationship with your partner tenant
- Ensure that the correct security group is used in the GDAP permissions
- Ensure your delegated admin account is a member of that group
