# DocumentSecurityType

The name of the security module that evaluates security information for this repository. The name must match one of the section names enumerated in the `[Security]` section of your IDOL Content component configuration file.

You only need to set this parameter if you want the connector to impersonate users when performing `Fetch`, `GetUri`, and `View` actions.

Example: A front-end application offers the ability to delete documents from the data repository. To accomplish this, it sends a delete fetch action to the connector. The connector is configured to connect to the repository using a service account, and so it appears as if the connector deleted the file. Instead, you can configure the system so that the connector impersonates the user who wishes to delete the document. In this case it will appear as if the user deleted the file.

If you want the connector to impersonate another user, you must include user security information in the action request, by setting the `SecurityInfo` action parameter. You must also set the parameter SecurityInfoKeys so that the connector can decrypt the `SecurityInfo` string. `SecurityInfo` strings are generated by the IDOL Community component. For more information, refer to the IDOL Document Security Administration Guide.
