    The error message you are encountering, AADSTS90072, indicates that the user account does not exist in the specified tenant and cannot access the application in that tenant. To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the account you are trying to use is added as an external user in the tenant you are attempting to access.

    Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Sign Out: Sign out of your current account.
    2. Sign In with the Correct Account: Make sure to sign in with a different Azure Active Directory user account that is recognized in the tenant.
    3. Add as External User: If you need to use the current account, you will need to have it added as an external user in the tenant's directory.

    If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to your organization's administrator for assistance with adding your account to the tenant.
