# Mapped Security

The Google Cloud Storage Connector supports mapped security. When you set the configuration parameter `MappedSecurity` to `TRUE`, an Access Control List (ACL) is added to each document and the `SECURITYTYPE` document field is set.

Security Type |
    Type=AUTONOMY_SECURITY_V4_GENERIC_MAPPED
    SecurityACLFormat=<E=B!>:U:<U=SLE+>:G:<G=SLE+>
    SecurityACLCheck=E=1?P:-,U=[U]?P:-,G=[G]?P:F
ACL Format | `<EveryoneFlag>:U:<Users>:G:<Groups>` `<Users>` is a comma-separated list of users who are permitted to view the document, and `<Groups>` is a comma-separated list of groups who are permitted to view the document. If the value of the `<EveryoneFlag>` is `1` (true), any user can view the document. When this flag is `0` (false), the user must be listed explicitly, or must be a member of a group listed in the ACL.
`SECURITYTYPE` Field Value | `GOOGLECLOUDSTORAGE`

The following is an example security configuration for the Content component:

    //----------------- Field Processing ---------------------//
    [FieldProcessing]
    ...
    30=DetectGoogleCloudStorage

    [DetectGoogleCloudStorage]
    PropertyFieldCSVs=*/SECURITYTYPE
    PropertyMatch=GOOGLECLOUDSTORAGE
    Property=SecurityGoogleCloudStorage

    //----------------- Properties ---------------------//
    [SecurityGoogleCloudStorage]
    SecurityType=GoogleCloudStorage

    //----------------- Document Security --------------------//
    [Security]
    0=GoogleCloudStorage

    [GoogleCloudStorage]
    SecurityCode=1
    Library=./modules/mapped_security.dll
    // or mapped_security.so on Linux

    Type=AUTONOMY_SECURITY_V4_GENERIC_MAPPED
    SecurityACLFormat=<E=B!>:U:<U=SLE+>:G:<G=SLE+>
    SecurityACLCheck=E=1?P:-,U=[U]?P:-,G=[G]?P:F

The connector supports the `SynchronizeGroups` fetch action, which can be used by OmniGroupServer to retrieve users and groups that are defined in Google Cloud Storage projects and buckets. Permissions in Google Cloud Storage can also be assigned to users and groups defined in a Google Directory. To retrieve users and groups from a Google Directory, you must use the `ogs_google` module in OmniGroupServer. After retrieving users and groups from both sources, configure a third task to combine the users and groups into a single OmniGroupServer repository.
