Group SID Refresh
The Group SID Refresh option allows you to replace group and user domain names in a configuration and refresh Security Identifier (SID) values in membership conditions.
This is useful when working across multiple environments where the SIDs are of different values. For example, if you have been working in a test environment and want to move to a live environment, the SID values in each environment will be different. Using the Group SID Refresh function, the SIDs in the configuration can be quickly updated to match those in the live environment. In addition to refreshing the SIDs, user and group domain names can be replaced in the configuration so they are correct for the live environment.
