Mapped Security

The Confluence REST Connector supports mapped security.

NOTE: To enable mapped security, you must install a OpenText plug-in on your Confluence server. The plug-in (and therefore mapped security) is not supported for Confluence instances that are hosted in the cloud.

The connector can extract security information for items in Confluence, and add an Access Control List (ACL) to each document that it produces.

The connector also supports the SynchronizeGroups action, to retrieve information about groups that are created and stored in Confluence. The connector sends the group information to OmniGroupServer.

NOTE: If your Confluence instance is connected to a directory server, such as Microsoft Active Directory, you might also need to retrieve groups from the directory and combine them with the groups retrieved from Confluence.

For more information about configuring Mapped Security refer to the Document Security Administration Guide.
