How to Crawl Only Published Items

The connector offers the option to crawl only items that are in a Published state (if versioning is enabled in document libraries or lists).

To crawl only items that are in a Published state, you need to register a second Azure App with READ permissions configured

Note: To crawl only published items, two user accounts to the Connector are provided.

  • The first account is administrative, and will enumerate items, read properties and types, and security.

  • The second account has READ only access and is used to retrieve items.


Use the following instructions to add the second Azure App with READ permissions.

  1. Create a second Azure app and certificate (using the instructions here) and grant the app the permissions illustrated below:



  2. In the connector configuration Login field, enter the two certificate names separated by a semicolon. See the graphic below.

  3. In the Password field, enter the two app IDs (FULL permission ID first, READ permission ID second), separated by semicolon (;).
