# Retrieve and Index Access Control Lists

To configure the Dynamics 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. Set the `MappedSecurity` parameter to `true`.

   - To index ACLs for all fetch tasks, set this parameter in the `[FetchTasks]` section.
   - To index ACLs for a single fetch task, set this parameter in the `[TaskName]` section for the task.

   For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask
       MappedSecurity=True

       [MyTask]
       DynamicsOnline=FALSE
       UseDomainLogin=TRUE
       EndpointUrl=http://10.11.12.13/DynamicsCRM/api/data/v8.1
       NtlmUsername=CONNECTOR\Administrator
       NtlmPassword=
       RetrievalSpecification=retrieval.xml
       IndexDatabase=Dynamics

   TIP: The `UseDomainLogin` configuration parameter determines whether the connector constructs ACLs that contain domain names or e-mail addresses. The default value is the opposite of the parameter `DynamicsOnline` – email addresses are commonly used for Dynamics Online, and domain names for on-premise installations. For more information about configuring fetch tasks to retrieve information from Dynamics, see Use the Connector.

4. Add a field to each document to specify the security type. To do this, create an ingest action or run a Lua script. For example:

       [Ingestion]
       IngestActions=META:SECURITYTYPE=DYNAMICS

   NOTE: The field name and value that you specify must match the name and value you use to identify the security type in your Content component configuration file (for more information about configuring Content, see Configure Content and Community).

5. Save and close the configuration file.
