Hi Worley,

Thanks for quick response,

Please let me know if it's better to do it manually as this is polluting our audit logs.

This means Configuring the Synchronization Interval to manually.

TIA..

Hi Ashok,

For certain directory types, Confluence stores a cache of directory information (users and groups) in the application database, to ensure fast recurrent access to user and group data. A synchronization task runs periodically to update the internal cache with changes from the external directory.

Please see Synchronizing Data from External Directories for more details about how this works.

Thanks,

Ann

Do you have confluence linked with your active directory?
