I'm trying to insert users pulled from one org to another org using Data Loader. The user CSV file has the Federation Id as column, pulled from the source org.

Here is the error for the failed records:

"The specified Federation ID already exists for this organization: SAML Federation ID"

I verified all the user records to make sure that this users doesn't exist in the Org to which I'm inserting.

  • The user may not exist but another user may have that federation ID on their record. Is that the case or have you confirmed that no user in the system has that federation ID. Also check that there are not duplicates int he import file. Commented May 15, 2016 at 4:31

As you already verified that their is no duplicate user inserted in that case or use detail page you find field Federation Id. This is a unique field for user object. So two records cannot be same FederationId. So there is a use case that your old users exist in the org has same federationId as newly inserted user.

Note: You sholud also check deactive users. there might you will find the user with same federationId. You need to remove that.

Also check Site guest users, this is what was causing the issue for me.
