Logging into FYI with an Email Alias set up using Magic Link

Where users have a different email address in Xero Practice Manager and for Microsoft 365, FYI allows for an Email Alias, (that is, the Microsoft 365 email address) to be used as an alternate to the Xero Practice Manager email address. 

The Microsoft 365 email alias for a user is only added after the user has proven their identity by the sending of a Magic Link to an authorised email address listed in Xero Practice Manager, that they can access and click to activate.
