Email Address Change

Anyone happen to know if an internal users email address changes within the AD will they lose access to previously assigned Power BI reports? I'm assuming not but I'm curious if anyone knows for sure. Also, would this cause any issue with the individuals existing RLS configurations? Thanks!

    Hi TSHECKEL 

    The answer to both of your questions is Yes. email adresses are unique

      Thanks for the insight. Just to confirm, if one's email domain changes within their existing AD account, they'll lose access to the all of the Power BI reports on the service that they previously had access to? Meaning they would have to be granted access to each one again?

        Technically yes, the individual loses access if he changes the principal UID in AD. Unless the new email is binded to the old email which I hardly doubt it.
