Issue/Introduction

When viewing events related to Password View Requests, a lot of entries by user PVRPROC are observed. The user is not in the UI, what is the purpose of this user?

Resolution

PVRPROC stands for PASSWORD_VIEW_REQUEST_PROCESSOR_USERNAME. It is used by the background Password View Request Processor which runs on the primary site leader and takes events that have timed out and expires them. The user deletes all events that are older than the delete interval regardless of what state they are in.
