# MappedSecurity

The `MappedSecurity` parameter specifies whether to get the security information for files and add an ACL to the document metadata. To enable mapped security, set this parameter to `true`. The ACL contains a list of the users and groups who are allowed to access the file, and a list of users and groups who are not allowed to access the file.

This parameter is supported only on certain platforms. The connector can get NT security information on Windows and POSIX security information on Linux. The connector can retrieve Netware ACLs for files retrieved from a Netware file system, when the connector is installed on Windows.

NOTE: A fetch task can only retrieve security information from a single type of file system. To retrieve ACLs from multiple types of file system (for example NT and Netware), configure a separate fetch task for each.

Alternate Name: | `MappedNTSecurity`
Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks
Example: | `MappedSecurity=True`
