Applying Provisioning Changes

CTERA Portal applies changed plan settings to all users every day at midnight. You can also apply all changes immediately.

Note

If the portal is integrated with a directory service, applying provisioning changes will also cause the portal to synchronize all the users with the directory.

To apply provisioning changes:

  1. Select Users > Users in the navigation pane.
    The USERS page opens, displaying the users for the portal.
