    Googling "ax change user sid" gave a first-page-first-hit result...

    You could have done the same, please rely more on your own skills for finding help.

    Hi Altaf,

    You can only replace existing users with your user through SQL.

    If you need help how to replace user through SQL then let me know.

    Regards,

    Hassan

    You cannot (or more precisely: should not) create new records for an AX database outside of AX, due to unique Record identifiers, Record versioning and a whole lot of other reasons.

    You could change an existing user account there though by overriding the network alias (your AD login), and network SID within the record as a temporary fix. They typically do this for the default Admin userid. You may find more details on this if you use a search engine of your choice.
