The statement is not accurate as a description of the Delimited File Source itself. A Delimited File source reads account information from a supplied file, but the connector does not inherently operate as a continuously connected file-share reader that automatically discovers and aggregates files directly from a network share.
SailPoint documents two principal ways of loading data for the Delimited File source: use the Identity Security Cloud File Upload Utility to provide the file, or manually perform the applicable account aggregation process. SailPoint separately describes the File Upload Utility as a mechanism that can automatically upload files into Identity Security Cloud. That external utility is important because it distinguishes automated file delivery from the Delimited File connector independently connecting to and monitoring a file share.
After the file reaches Identity Security Cloud, the source can process its account and entitlement information according to its schema. Flat-file feeds can also be manually uploaded whenever changes need to be aggregated.
Therefore, automatic collection from a file share is not an intrinsic capability that should be attributed directly to the Delimited File Source.
