Hello,
I’m using the Azure AD plugin for authentication. The [AzureAD oAuth plug-in](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-azure-ad) is working great, except one thing: The user’s email address is incorrect. The plug-in is populating the email address as the short name and the Active Directory domain, neither of which are correct. Example: my email address is [r-nix@mycollege.edu](mailto:r-nix@mycollege.edu) but the oAuth plugin is making the email address [rtn456@ad.mycollege.edu](mailto:rtn456@ad.mycollege.edu). I can’t find a way to change the email address. The one set at account creation is incorrect so we can’t change it through the normal Discourse email change protocols.
Is there a way to edit the database manually if I can’t do it through the Discourse admin panel?
Thanks!
Ryan

I think that what you really want to do is figure out how to get AzureAD to send the right email address. And if `sso overrides email` is set your problem will go away.
Yes, you can use the rails console to make changes manually.

Thanks, Jay @pfaffman I just tried checking enable SSO, but that seems to override using AzureAD. Additionally, when I finally got the option to work (after unchecking enable SSO but leaving `sso overrides email` checked) the user still wasn’t able to change their email address upon account creation. Thanks for the suggestion to use the [rails console](https://meta.discourse.org/t/change-staff-email-address-from-console/42062). I’ll use that for now.

OH! I forgot that the AD stuff was not SSO. I think that you still want to figure out how to get the right email passed over and let AzureAD update email addresses, but I’m glad I gave you a hint that moved you forward.
