Hi! I'm inviting Practitioners to our application via the `/admin/projects/{projectId}/invite` route and noticed we're getting duplicate user accounts if we re-run the invite on an existing user. Our use-case requires that an invite be idempotent and we were hoping that the User would be deduped much like the Profile.

After digging a little bit I noticed in the `invite.ts`  you de-dupe User for `Patient` invites but not `Practitioner`. Just wanted to see if this is intentional or not!

Github issue here if this is a real issue: https://github.com/medplum/medplum/issues/3369

Thanks

I just realized the project user's tab is showing `ProjectMembership` and not actual users. I can see that the `ProjectMembership` is a M:1 with user.. that clears things up a bit!

Can close this. Thanks!

Hi Taylor! You've actually hit on a real pain point, that we plan on addressing here: https://github.com/medplum/medplum/issues/3137. 

Having 2 ProjectMemberships for the same user generally leads to undefined behavior, and we'd like to clean this up 🙂

Awesome! As a workaround we’re looking up a practitioner’s ProjectMembership and based on its existence deciding wether to invite or not. This should work for us for now.
