Trigger group sync for all users?

Hi,

I'm using the PluggableAuth extension in combination with the OpenIDConnect extension. When a user logs in, the groups returned by the provider (Entra in my case) will re-sync the user's groups in MediaWiki via the "syncall" configuration option for PluggableAuth.

I was wondering, is there a way to trigger a group sync besides having the user log in? Some of our users don't login in that frequently, so the groups listed in MediaWiki for the user become out-of-sync with the provider groups. This isn't necessarily an authorization problem, since a user who lost or gained a group that would revoke or permit access should have that access updated upon the next login. However, the groups listed in MediaWiki make it appear as though someone might have access who shouldn't (or vice versa).

Thanks!

Dan
