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 Alfresco (Server) data source to Amazon Q Business, Amazon Q crawls ACL information attached to a document (user and group information) from your Alfresco (Server) 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 group and user IDs are mapped as follows:
-
_group_ids– Group IDs exist in Alfresco on files where there are set access permissions. They're mapped from the system names of the groups (not display names) in Alfresco. -
_user_id– User IDs exist in Alfresco on files where there are set access permissions. They're mapped from the user emails as the IDs in Alfresco.
