SharePoint
The Sharepoint connector for Elimity Insights fetches users, groups, and sites for a Sharepoint tenant so you can keep in control of your environment. Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.
1. Setting up a gateway
The Elimity Insights built-in connector for SharePoint requires at least full read access to the sites you want to scan; a more limited permission unfortunately just doesn't exist. Therefore we ask our customers to set up an additional layer of protection for their SharePoint credentials: each deployment of the Elimity Insights built-in connector for SharePoint should communicate with an on-prem instance of the Elimity Insights gateway for SharePoint. Only the on-prem gateway instance has direct access to the coarse-grained SharePoint tokens. Refer to the documentation about our SharePoint gateway for detailed setup instructions.
Note down your gateway's URL and the secret token you generated for authentication.
2. Creating a source in Elimity Insights
In Elimity Insights you can now create a new SharePoint source providing the following configuration options:
Gateway URL
HTTP(S) URL of the Elimity Insights Sharepoint gateway you set up in step 1.
Gateway secret token
Secret token you generated in step 1.
Target
HJSON array of objects describing which sites you want to import (use an empty array to target all sites in your tenant); refer to our documentation about target configuration for more details.
Skip files
Indicates whether to skip scanning regular files and directories for each site.
Skip role assignments
Indicates whether you want to skip scanning role assignments for each file; make sure you granted the gateway Sites.FullControl.All permission when enabling this option.
Skip personal sites
Indicates whether to skip scanning personal sites.
Include regular files
Indicates whether to also scan regular files (not only directories).
List item page size
Maximum number of SharePoint list items to retrieve in a single page; we recommend a value of 5000.
Role assignment chunk size
Maximum number of SharePoint list items to retrieve in a single page; we recommend a value of 100.
