Knowledge Discovery 26.1
Getting Started Guide

# Knowledge Discovery Document Security

To add secured search for Knowledge Discovery Text, you need to install OmniGroupServer (OGS).

OGS collects security information from several different security repositories. It stores information about the users and groups that exist in these repositories, which the Community component and Content component use to ensure that users can access only documents that they have permission to see.

When a user starts a session with the Community component, the client application requests security information. Community retrieves the user security details from OGS. The client application adds the security information to every subsequent query that it sends to the Content component. Content can then compare the user security details to the document access control lists (ACLs) to determine what type of access to grant.

OmniGroupServer is available as a separate installer. For more information, see Security in Knowledge Discovery, and refer to the Document Security Administration Guide.

Setup for secured search requires configuration in the Content and Community components, and your connectors. For more information, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.
