Day in brief

Global Secure Access connector cleanup guidance is the clearest operational update on an otherwise documentation-heavy day

All 49 supplied records are documentation updates; there are no new or removed items and no Message Center notices. The strongest substantive content covers Global Secure Access connector lifecycle and diagnostics, recurring Microsoft Entra ID Governance access reviews, and Darwinbox provisioning. The evidence supports documentation clarification and operating guidance—not a new feature, preview, general-availability announcement, retirement, or confirmed service-behavior change.

    Global Secure Access documents automatic cleanup of inactive connectors

    The updated Connectors article states that running connectors remain active, while unused connectors are tagged `_inactive_` and removed after 10 days of inactivity. It also says that intentional removal requires uninstalling both the Connector and Updater services and restarting the computer. This is explicit operational documentation; the record does not establish that the underlying service policy changed today.

  • ID Governance · Fundamentals
    Access Reviews guidance spells out recurring review cadence and reviewer workflow

    The updated Access Reviews overview documents recurring reviews at weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual frequencies. It also says reviewers are notified when a review starts and can approve or deny access with support from smart recommendations. This clarifies use of the existing capability rather than announcing a new feature or availability change.

  • Global Secure Access · Troubleshooting
    Global Secure Access client troubleshooting points administrators to Advanced Diagnostics

    The updated troubleshooting article directs operators to the Health Check tab in the Global Secure Access client’s advanced diagnostics utility. That provides a concrete support path for existing client deployments; the supplied evidence does not indicate a client release or behavior change.

  • ID Governance · Governance
    Darwinbox integration guidance covers provisioning through monitoring

    The updated Microsoft Entra ID Governance tutorial describes establishing the Darwinbox connection, configuring attribute mappings, testing account provisioning, setting account access rules, and monitoring provisioning. It presents the integration as a way to configure cloud-native users and automate business processes with Entra ID Governance Lifecycle Workflows. This is implementation documentation, not evidence that the integration launched or reached a new availability stage on this date.

This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.

Connectors

Updated

You don't have to manually delete connectors that are unused. When a connector is running, it remains active as it connects to the service. Unused connectors are tagged as `_inactive_` and are removed after 10 days of inactivity. If you do want to uninstall a connector, though, uninstall both the Connector service and the Updater service from the server. Restart the computer to fully remove the service.
