# Security identity update
A {doctitle} is a process during which a [security identity provider](https://docs.coveo.com/en/242/) extracts [security identity relationships](https://docs.coveo.com/en/243/) and stores them in the [security identity cache](https://docs.coveo.com/en/241/).

Once this process is over, the [index](https://docs.coveo.com/en/204/) can re-evaluate the [effective permissions](https://docs.coveo.com/en/194/) of each [item](https://docs.coveo.com/en/210/).
