Refresh Accounts Yearly #446

Open UCDFeedbackBot opened 2 years ago

UCDFeedbackBot commented 2 years ago

Request to programmatically resync accounts for the drop down lists yearly. We have folks selecting expired accounts from the drop downs leaving account managers and purchasers scrambling to correct. We realize this can be done manually but it's per account per workgroup. We have 117 workgroups with anywhere from 1 to 100 accounts per workgroup. That's a lot of clicking.

It is a good idea. It wouldn't be automatic because that would break the functionality that some people are using where they add specific accounts, then sync the rest.

But... Possibly a re-sync button somewhere that would delete all the accounts and either wait for the nightly sync or try to do the sync right away similarly to what happens in the create workgroup wizard.

Unfortunately, with expected changes for Aggie Enterprise, we don't want to change anything account related until that is completed.
