  • ...

  • It can be detected via SaaS Monitoring System using SaaS configuration tracking.
  • It can be documented in SaaS Incident Report for SaaS root cause analysis.
  • It can be resolved through SaaS Recovery Process with SaaS configuration restoration.

• Example(s):
  • Authentication Configuration Override Events, such as:
    • SSO Settings Override Event during SSO plan transition.

    • SAML Configuration Override Event through SAML setting replacement.
  • Feature Configuration Override Events, such as:
