Pruning delegated directories
Optimize your user database by cleaning inactive users from your delegated directories. After configuring pruning for a delegated directory, Crowd will periodically check if the directory contains any users who have been deactivated or removed from the remote directory.
By default such users will be deactivated in Crowd. It is also possible to enable "hard delete" mode, in which users who have been deleted in the remote directory will also be deleted in Crowd.
Delegated directory pruning feature is Crowd's native feature starting from version 4.3. If you use version of Crowd lower than 4.3, you must install the Delegated Directory Pruning plugin from Atlassian Marketplace to be able to use this functionality.
To enable pruning for your delegated directory
Go to a delegated directory for which you want to enable pruning
Go to Configure pruning.
- Enable pruning by selecting the Pruning toggle
- Choose the pruning mode:
- Deactivate user - when a user is deactivated or deleted in a remote directory, it is also disabled in Crowd.
Delete user - when a user is deleted in a remote directory, it is also deleted in Crowd.
User deactivated in remote directory will be disabled in Crowd.
Choose what pruning should do with users that don't have an external ID specified:
- Do Nothing - don't do anything with a user that doesn't have an external ID.
- Deactivate user - deactivate a user that doesn't have an external ID.
- Do Nothing - don't do anything with a user that doesn't have an external ID.
