What happens if the user-selected authentication source is part of the sync group?

The scenario described involves an interaction between a user-selected authentication source and a synchronization group within SailPoint Identity Now. When the user selects an authentication source that belongs to the sync group, the system prioritizes the change associated with that source. This means that the password change operation or any corresponding updates will be processed first, effectively taking a step to ensure that any changes made are in sync with the designated authentication source before considering other sources in the sync group.

This prioritization is crucial because it helps maintain security and data integrity by ensuring that changes are applied consistently across all relevant systems, reducing the chances of discrepancies arising from out-of-sync data. Users can be confident that their selected authentication source will reflect the password change immediately, streamlining the authentication process.

In contrast, the other options focus on different mechanisms for handling password changes or authentication prompts, which may not accurately reflect the inherent priority and sync behavior that's specific to sources within a sync group. For instance, immediate enforcement of password changes or redirection to an authentication page implies actions that may not align with the prioritized processing of synchronization groups.
