Automatic subscription import settings

When configuring a cloud organization, you can enable automatic discovery and import for the subscriptions, and also configure the default behavior for usage analysis.

Automatic subscription import frequency
When enabled, automatic subscription imports occur daily at midnight. To change the scheduled time, contact Tufin Customer Support.

Manual subscription import
Manually import on demand, even when automatic import is enabled. Manual import behavior differs depending on whether auto import is enabled or disabled. See Azure Cloud Organizations.

Both automatic and manual subscription import processes only add new entities.
Existing entities that have been deleted or removed are not automatically removed during import.
