The SharePoint Server 2016 connector has the following known limitations:
-
The SharePoint Server connector supports custom field mappings only for the Files entity.
-
For all SharePoint Server versions, the ACL token must be in lower case. For Email with Domain from IDP and Email ID with Custom Domain ACL, for example:
user@sharepoint2019.com. For Domain\User with Domain ACL, for example:sharepoint2013\user. -
If an entity name has a
%character in its name, the connector will skip these files due to API limitations. -
OneNote can only be crawled by the connector using a Tenant ID, and with OAuth 2.0, OAuth 2.0 refresh token, or SharePoint App Only authentication activated for SharePoint Online.
-
The connector crawls the first section of a OneNote document using its default name only, even if the document is renamed.
-
The connector crawls links in SharePoint 2016 if Links is selected as an entity to be crawled.
-
The connector crawls only list attachments and comments when List Data is selected as an entity to be crawled.
-
The connector crawls event attachments only when Events is also selected as an entity to be crawled.
-
To crawl nested groups using Identity crawler, you have to activate Local as well as AD Group Crawling.
-
To use Identity Crawler with SharePoint Server 2016 to crawl nested groups, you have to enable both Local and AD Group Crawling.
-
Query responses based on AD Group ACLs are not supported for SharePoint Server 2016. You need to add users and groups directly to your document permissions list.
