Identity sync updates in Drata
Identity sync updates in Drata

Understand when personnel, user, and device changes will show in Drata

Updated over 5 months ago

When you make an update within your identity provider, HRIS, version control, infrastructure, or MDM system to an employee or user account, it can take up to 24 hours to see the updates appear within Drata. This is due to the availability of this updated data on the connection's API.

Important to note, deleting an account in one of these version control or infrastructure accounts will not remove it from Drata. Instead, Drata will add a timestamp under 'Access Revoked' on the Managed Accounts screen. This is important as it creates an audit trail allowing for tracking of access control SLAs.

Further, these are the monitoring tests that are at least partially dependent on a once-daily or ad-hoc user data sync. If you click the Test Now button for these tests, you may not see a change in the results until Drata syncs the latest user data from the connected platform. Follow the instructions in this article to initiate an ad-hoc of that user data. Upon the completion of that sync, you can rerun these tests to see updated results.
