# Retrieve and Index Access Control Lists

To configure the connector to retrieve and index Access Control Lists (ACLs), follow these steps.

To retrieve and index Access Control Lists

1. If the connector is running, stop the connector.
2. Open the connector’s configuration file.

3. Find the `[TaskName]` section in which you configured a fetch task to retrieve information from SharePoint.

4. Set the following parameters:

   `MappedSecurity` | Set `MappedSecurity` to `true` so that the connector extracts Access Control Lists (ACLs) and adds these to documents.
   `IngestActions` | Set this parameter to add a document field to each document that identifies the security type. NOTE: The field name and value that you specify must match the name and value you used to identify SharePoint security in your Content component configuration file.
   `IncludeProviderNameInACLs` | (Optional) This parameter specifies whether to include the name of the membership or role provider, from which a user or group originates, in the ACL. If your SharePoint repository is configured to use claims-based authentication with multiple claims providers, set this parameter to `true`.
   `UseEmailAsGroupName` | (Optional) This parameter specifies whether to add the e-mail address of a group to a document ACL, instead of the group name. If you are retrieving documents from SharePoint Online, set this parameter to `true`.

       [SharePointOnPremise]
       ...
       MappedSecurity=TRUE
       UseEmailAsGroupName=FALSE
       IngestActions=META:SecurityType=SharePoint

       [SharePointOnline]
       ...
       MappedSecurity=TRUE
       UseEmailAsGroupName=TRUE
       IngestActions=META:SecurityType=SharePointOnline

5. Save and close the configuration file.
