When updating a user or group via application administration, where is the update applied first?

• A. In all directories simultaneously
• B. In the first directory that the application has write permissions
• C. In the main internal directory only
• D. In the last directory that the application has write permissions

Answer: (B)

When you update a user or group in the application, the change is written to the first directory in the configured list that the app has permission to write to. The application uses a prioritized order of directories and treats the highest-priority writable directory as the authoritative store for updates. This ensures the update goes to a single, known source of truth rather than attempting to write to all directories at once or to a directory that isn’t writable. If two directories exist, the app won’t wait to update the last one; it will apply the update to the first one it can write to.
