Manage Your Directory Service on
Data Security

Learn how to rescan, reauthenticate, or delete a directory service instance from
Data Security
.
When you connect your directory service to
Data Security
, you provide the identifiers and keys authorizing the service to establish a secure connection to the directory to populate your user group information.
Data Security
refreshes every 24 hours, but if there are changes to user group membership you’d like to retrieve before the automatic refresh, you can manually update your user and group information.
The directory service and
Data Security
maintain a secure connection, but sometimes you need to reauthenticate if there is a network connectivity issue or if the login credentials have changed.
To stop scanning a directory service, you can remove the connection on
Data Security
by deleting the directory service instance. Any cloud apps utilizing the subset of groups in scanning will need to be reauthenticated.
