QC Frontend User Manager Entitlement Revalidation Scheduled Task

QC Frontend User Manager Entitlement Revalidation is the canonical Joomla Scheduled Task that keeps QCFUM’s current Authorized-Domain, paid-tier, All Access, and Max Preview state refreshed. It is security-critical for every Effective tier above Basic.

QCFUM 2.0.4 expects exactly one published canonical task, backed by the enabled QCFUM Task plugin, running at least once every 60 minutes.

Required Structural State

QCFUM checks the task before activating or refreshing paid/Preview access. The structure is acceptable only when:

  • the QCFUM Scheduled Tasks plugin is registered and enabled;
  • the plugin files are present;
  • Joomla Scheduled Tasks storage is available;
  • exactly one Entitlement Revalidation task is published;
  • its cadence is between 1 and 60 minutes.

If the task is missing, unpublished, duplicated, disabled, or slower than hourly, QCFUM immediately resolves the Effective tier to Basic until the structure is healthy again.

What the Task Does

The task calls QCFUM’s entitlement refresh path without starting a Preview. It updates the cached entitlement, next-check state, and current plan information using the same current keyless entitlement model used by manual Refresh Entitlement.

The task does not grant Joomla permissions and it is not the same as QC Frontend User Manager Scheduled Automation. Scheduled Automation handles time-based onboarding work; Entitlement Revalidation exists to maintain entitlement integrity.

Read Task Health in QCFUM

  1. Open QCFUM Administrator.
  2. Open Status.
  3. Find Entitlement Automation Integrity.
  4. Review plugin state, task count/publication, cadence, last execution, next execution, failure information, and any displayed issue.

A structurally correct task can still show a runtime warning if its latest execution failed or if it is overdue. An overdue task points to the Joomla scheduler runner rather than to the task definition alone.

Repair Entitlement Task

A Super User can use Repair Entitlement Task when QCFUM reports a repairable integrity problem. The repair enables the Task plugin, creates the canonical task if necessary, publishes the canonical lowest-ID task, restores the security-sensitive hourly schedule, and disables duplicate entitlement tasks.

If the plugin is not registered or its files are missing, QCFUM does not fabricate those files. Reinstall the current QCFUM package.

Do Not Confuse Task Integrity with Transport Grace

A broken task structure forces Basic immediately. The bounded 24-hour communication grace applies only to genuine QuantaCade transport failures after a previously confirmed paid or Preview entitlement; it does not excuse a missing, duplicated, disabled, unpublished, or too-slow task.
