DocAve 6 Service Pack 3 Connector User Guide - AvePoint

Security MappingWhile files that are uploaded natively to SharePoint from a file system lose their permission settings,Connector is intended to read document and file-share level permissions and load them into SharePoint.Security Mapping allows you to configure rules that map the file system permissions to SharePointpermissions.While mapping for permissions can be configured, it’s important to remember that applying uniqueobject-level permissions is not a recommended best practice in SharePoint. You can make thedetermination at the time of creation whether a library will reuse file system security or simply inheritfrom its SharePoint site, but we strongly recommend the latter.By default, DocAve applies a default common mapping named DefaultConnectorSecuritySetting, whichcannot be edited or deleted. To set up a new Security Mapping:1. From the Connector tab, select Security Mapping in the General Settings group. The SecurityMapping pop-up page appears. Here, you can view all of the existing Security Mapping profiles.2. To create a new property rule, click Create in the Manage group. The Create Security Mappingpage appears in the workspace.3. Configure the following settings for Security Mapping.a. What would you like to call this security mapping? – Enter a name and optionaldescription for the Security Mapping profile.b. How should file system permissions be mapped? – Map file system permissions toSharePoint permissions. Select a SharePoint Permission from the drop-down list to applyit to the corresponding File System Permission.4. To create a new SharePoint permission level for the permission mapping, click New SharePointPermission Level. In the pop-up window, you can view the default SharePoint permission levels:Contribute, Design, Full Control, None, Read, and View Only. These default SharePointpermission levels cannot be edited or deleted.5. Click Create in the Manage group.
