Installation of the AD Connect Sync Plus Portal creates a site named ADCS Plus Portal in the Internet Information Services (IIS) web server. This site holds the ADCS Plus Portal website, which can be accessed by its users to log-in with their credentials. ADCS Plus Portal Admins, Entity Admins and Service Desk users can log-on to the ADCS Plus Portal by using this site. Please note that the ADCS Plus Portal provides exclusive graphical user interface (GUI) to the Portal Admins, Entity Admins, and Service Desk users.

Manage Pending Deletions

In the ADCS Plus system, there is a threshold check regarding the number of synced AD users deleted from the AD of source entity. Whenever this threshold is reached, a pending deletion request is generated and shown to the Portal admin in System >> Pending Deletions. If approved, AD users that were deleted from the AD of source entity are also removed from the AD of target entity (i.e., synchronized users deleted from source are also deleted from target provided that both the threshold is reached, and the deletion request is approved by the Portal Admin).

To manage settings for pending deletions, navigate to the top menu and click System >> Manage Pending Deletions. 

Threshold Settings

To configure threshold settings, click Threshold Settings and specify required information as:
