Mapped Security

The Google Drive Connector supports mapped security, but only when you retrieve information from users in a G Suite domain.

When you set the configuration parameter MappedSecurity to TRUE, an Access Control List (ACL) is added to each IDOL document and the SECURITYTYPE document field is set.

ACL Format

<Everyone>:U:<Users>:NU:<Negative Users>:G:<Groups>:NG:<Negative Groups>

  • <Everyone> is a flag, set to either 0 or 1. When set to 1, any user who does not match an entry in the <Negative Users> or <Negative Groups> sections is permitted to view the document. When set to 0, a user must match an entry in the <Users> or <Groups> sections to view the document.
  • <Users> is a comma-separated list of users.
  • <Groups> is a comma-separated list of groups.
  • <Negative Users> is a comma-separated list of users who are never permitted to view the document.
  • <Negative Groups> is a comma-separated list of groups who are never permitted to view the document.
SECURITYTYPE Field Value

GOOGLEDRIVE

An IDOL index might contain documents that originated from different connectors. Google Drive Connector adds the SECURITYTYPE field to each document, so that you can configure your IDOL Content component to recognize documents that originated from this connector, and process each document using the appropriate security type.
