User Synchronization Mechanism

  1. The system periodically polls the specified fields in the specified table to synchronize users. After it obtains the latest user list, it applies the following processing:

  2. The system evaluates users within the specified user type.

    1. Users with the Super Administrator role are not synchronized.

    2. If a user is not included in the current synchronization list, the user is deleted and the related asset transfer logic is processed.

    3. If a user is newly added in the current synchronization, the system adds the user and assigns the Metric Consumer role.

    4. If a user already exists, the system skips the user and does not modify any user information.

  3. If the query fails, user synchronization is not performed.
