Hello,

Our users' name revert to English characters when there's an update to their licenses. Any license. I've verified that the user's name is correct on Entra however, we lose the language specific characters when this occurs. modifying user is cdsusermanagement.

How can I remedy this?

cdsusermanagement reverting user first and last name when a license is assigned

Hi Barış 👋

Thanks for your question!

The issue you're encountering—where user names revert to English characters when a license is assigned or updated, and the modifying user is cdsusermanagement—is likely related to synchronization behavior between Entra ID (Azure AD) and Dataverse.

✅ Here’s what you can try:

Verify Entra ID (Azure AD) profile encoding

Ensure that the user's name in Entra ID includes the correct language-specific characters and is saved properly.

Sometimes, character encoding issues can occur during sync if the source system doesn’t support Unicode fully.

Check Dataverse sync settings

The cdsusermanagement system user is responsible for syncing user data from Entra ID to Dataverse.

If the sync process is stripping special characters, it may be due to a default normalization or encoding rule.

Use Power Platform Admin Center

Go to Power Platform Admin Center > Environments > [Your Environment] > Users.

Manually update the user’s name if needed and monitor whether it persists after license changes.

Raise a support ticket with Microsoft

This behavior may be a known issue or limitation. Microsoft Support can confirm whether there’s a workaround or configuration to preserve special characters during sync.

💡 As a workaround, you might consider using a custom field to store the correct display name if the system field continues to revert.

Hope this helps!
