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 Amazon WorkDocs data source to Amazon Q Business, Amazon Q Business crawls ACL information attached to a document (user and group information) from your Amazon WorkDocs 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.
The Amazon WorkDocs group and user IDs are mapped as follows:
-
_group_ids—Group IDs exist in Amazon WorkDocs on files where there are set access permissions. They are mapped from the names of the groups in Amazon WorkDocs. -
_user_id—User IDs exist in Amazon WorkDocs on files where there are set access permissions. They are mapped from the user names in Amazon WorkDocs.
