-
All Users device extensions with Sync Out Enabled=true receive notification that a user event has occurred. This results in setting Sync Required=true in each Users device extension.
-
A synchronization is scheduled for the remote station. The Sync Delay property determines how long to wait between a user event and a synchronization. Each event resets the delay. That allows multiple changes to be made without necessarily requiring multiple synchronization operations.
-
After the Sync Delay has passed, the Supervisor initiates the synchronization process with the subordinate station.
-
When complete, Sync Required=false and sync timestamps are updated.
-
Subordinate checks Sync In Enabled of its proxy for the Supervisor station. If false, the synchronization process is aborted.
-
Subordinate coordinates with Supervisor to determine which users are out of sync.
-
Subordinate receives list of out-of-sync user records from Supervisor.
-
For each user:
-
-
Find a matching prototype among User Prototypes. A prototype is either matched by name or if the Sync Strategy is “Use Default Prototype”, the default prototype is used. If no matching prototype, ignore user.
-
On the incoming user, overwrite the “local override properties” (properties: Permissions, Nav File, Web Profile) from the prototype.
-
Add the new user or update an existing user.
-
-
When complete, Sync Required=false and sync timestamps are updated.
