How Amazon Q Business connector crawls Box ACLs

Connectors support crawling ACL and identity information where applicable based on the data source. If you index documents without ACLs, all documents are considered public. Indexing documents with ACLs ensures data security.

Amazon Q Business supports crawling ACLs for document security by default.

When you connect an Box data source to Amazon Q Business, Amazon Q Business crawls ACL information attached to a document (user and group information) from your Box instance. If you choose to activate ACL crawling, the information can be used to filter chat responses to your end user's document access level.

  • _group_ids—Group IDs exist in Box on files where there are set access permissions. They are mapped from the names of the groups in Box.

  • _user_id—User IDs exist in Box on files where there are set access permissions. They are mapped from the user emails as the user IDs in Box.
