    Hi. Well the method says Add. So I guess it only adds. I'm not familiarized with power bi cmdlets, but I haven't seen a way to solve this using only that. However I know the API, it would let you build a script to fix it. You can try catch the exception and try an update of the user like the doc

    I hope that helps,
