How-to: Disable Sync of Users and Groups in the SkyFormation Application

Preface

In this guide we’ll learn how to disable sync of users and groups in an account connector.

Sync of groups and users is used for enrichments of events. In some of the cases, an admin permission is needed to be added to the UI of the service in order to sync groups and users. 

The SkyFormation application enables sync of users and groups by default. You may not want to add the 'admin' permission for a specific service because of security reasons, so you may want to disable this configuration. In this section we will see how to edit this configuration and disable this sync. 

Steps

Enter the account connector configuration 

In the SkyFormation application UI, please enter the "Accounts" page: 

Please click on the account you will like to edit and then enter the "Advanced" section. For example, for the Box connector: 

Disable the sync users and groups configuration

You reached the account connector configuration section.

Please scroll down and seek for the field "account-settings". You should see the persona-sync-supported and groups-sync-supported fields: 

In the next step, please change these fields to "false" and click "save". 

Sync of users and groups is now disabled for this account connector.
