Configuring a periodic task to update dropbox user folder

Dropbox folders (as well as the assay-data-library structure) for newly logged-in LDAP users or groups are generated via a periodic Celery task that you need to configure.

The task responsible for this is: data_management.tasks.task_check_structure_in_primary_volumes

You can manage this from the admin panel by navigating to Periodic Tasks and creating a new entry pointing to the task above. You’ll also be able to configure the schedule using either an interval or a crontab.

A known limitation is that newly added users must wait until the task runs (e.g., the following night) before their Dropbox folders become available.
