Does it perform some sort of db query?
Does it only search among currently logged in users?
When I pass a table to “sync”, can that change the logged-in status or
DB status? Or is it only “fill in this query with data from (a?) matching
entry in the db?”
I didn’t find any documentation that explained it, thanks!

During the SSO process we (optionally depending on settings) synchronize a bunch of details on the users table, stuff like email,username,name,avatar and custom fields.
Occasionally you may want update all this information without a user needing to log off and log on to Discourse.
For cases like this you would define and admin API key and ship the SSO payload to sync_sso so it will update the user details.
