When you bind users to external directories like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 (M365)\/Entra ID, JumpCloud starts to manage their identities in those directories. When a bound user sets up their JumpCloud password, and logs in to their User Portal, JumpCloud takes over management of the password in the external directory as well. We call this password takeover. The password is synchronized for those users any time they log in to the User Portal after a change has been made to their user record. This helps centralize identity and provides consistent, predictable password management within JumpCloud, for both Administrators and Users. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> \n

Password synchronization will be logged by the external directory as a password update. The User might be logged out of their existing Google Workspace or M365\/Entra ID sessions and will receive a notification of a password update. A corresponding log in event can be found in JumpCloud to verify that the password up date was a synchronization with JumpCloud.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
