Update federated identity

I realize that it's been over three years, but did you get a resolution to this and, if so, do you recall what you did? I'm performing a similar command in my attempt to add this to a new user script.

Get-PWUsersByMatch -Email $Email | Convert-PWUserToFederated

WARNING: Identity '<username>' already exists.

As I'm just starting to dabble in ProjectWise PowerShell, I am not really familiar with most of these commands and documentation/examples seem pretty sparse.

Issuing the command Get-Command -ModuleName pwps_dab *identity*

yields 

CommandType      Name                           Version  Source
-----------      ----                           -------- ------
Cmdlet           Set-PW365AutoSyncUserIdentity  23.1.8.0 pwps_dab
Cmdlet           Set-PWUserIdentity             23.1.8.0 pwps_dab

Set-PWUserIdentity should probably do what you want.   It is not accepting users from the pipeline contrary to the example, so you'll have to script something like

$users = Get-PWUsersByMatch -Email $Email -verbose

Set-PWUserIdentity -users $users -Identity $email -verbose

Unless you think the output is excessive, always use the -verbose switch.

Hope this helps,

I did this on a datasource a few weeks ago and I want to say that while you can use an array for -Users, the Identity string is not an array and it will assign the same identity email to each account. I believe I ended up doing:

$users = Get-PWUsersByMatch -Email '*@example.com' -Verbose
ForEach ($u in $users) {
    Set-PWUserIdentity -User $u -Identity $u.email
}

if you already have some accounts that are setup you can change the get-pwusersbymatch to:

$users = Get-PWUsersByMatch -Email '*@example.com' -LoginInfo | Where Identity -eq ''
