    There is no way to change 'resource type' once the resource is created. Assuming your resource was an account/contact before and now will be a D365 Field Service 'user', create a new resource of type 'user' and plan for in-flight bookings and work orders. In my experience, the best way to manage this is to plan for a certain logical endpoint (end of the week, change of shift etc.) for finishing all in-flight work orders, disable old bookable resource and then create a new one.

    The resource type can only be set during creation, changing it afterwards is not possible. Is my understanding correct that prior to the promotion the resource is a contact and you want to change it to user? In that case you need to create a new resource.
