Step 4 - Return to Afi application and wait for resources synchronisation

After the registration, Afi will discover domain resources (it may take up to several minutes for large domains) and then you will be forwarded to the application. If anything goes wrong during this step, please contact us or check Afi knowledge base article on installation troubleshooting - Troubleshooting problems with Afi application installation.

It can take up to 24 hours before Afi G Suite application is available for all of your domain users.

Step 5 - Protect the data

Configure protection for the whole domain or for a set of selected users.

a. To configure protection for the whole domain you need to select a top-level checkbox near the Resources label, then click on the Assign SLA button and select an SLA that will be applied to all domain resources. Protection for the whole domain or a set of organisational units can also be configured on the Organisational units tab.
