About the Objective EDM Connector

This version of the Objective connector connects directly to your Objective database.

By enumerating data directly from the database we are able to index larger sets of data and check for changes more rapidly.

This table lists Objective functions that are supported/not supported in the current version:

Security Processing

Important! Some items might not be visible in the SharePoint Search results list.

Objective EDM system grants the access to a resource if user has explicit grant access and deny access to the resource.
BA Insight's Connector Frameworks and Microsoft SharePoint behave differently in the same circumstances: meaning the user will be denied access to the resource.

Hypothesis	userX belongs to GroupA and GroupB, objectX is a child of FolderX GroupA has denied the access on FolderX, but GroupB has granted access on objectX
Current behavior	*In Objective EDM,* userX will have access to FolderX and objectX, because userX belongs to GroupB	*The Objective connector* will denied the userX access to objectX, because userX belongs to at least one group that has access denied -GroupA.
