What does a "refresh" refer to in this context?

In the context of SailPoint Identity Now, a "refresh" typically refers to a configuration change that triggers an update of data across the tenant. This process ensures that the existing data remains current, reflecting any modifications made in the system's configuration or in the sourced data feeds connected to the identity management system.

When a refresh occurs, it usually involves re-evaluating and synchronizing identity data, permissions, and entitlements with the latest configurations. This helps maintain data integrity and ensures that all users and systems have access to the most accurate and up-to-date information, aligning with defined policies and compliance requirements.

The other options provide context but do not encapsulate the primary function of a refresh within the SailPoint Identity Now framework. A system malfunction involves issues unrelated to data updates, while a user interface update solely pertains to visual changes in the system without directly affecting the underlying data. New user account registration represents an isolated event that does not constitute the broader implications of a refresh in the identity management process.
