Invitation to Create/Update Profile Task
This task is used to enumerate users who are not registered with Password Manager or must update their Q&A profiles and send email notifications to such users. This task is applied to users who have not been invited to create or update their Q&A profiles.

To each user from the user scope, the task is applied only once. After a user has been invited to create or update his Q&A profile, the Reminder to Create/Update Profile task will be applied to this user if configured.
You should configure this scheduled task to enable the Invite Users to Create/Update Q&A Profiles user enforcement rule. If you disable this scheduled task, the user enforcement rule will not be implemented. For more information on this user enforcement rule, see Invite Users to Create/Update Profiles.
