Permissioning

Permissions for what documents users can and cannot access in Onyx are determined by the access level set for each connector.

​

Connector Access Types:

​

1. Public

• Any user can access the documents in the connector

​

2. Private

• All documents from connectors that are private are only accessible to users in the group(s) that the connector is attached to.

​

3. Sync

• When one a connector is created with syncing access enabled, the permissions are inhereted from the source.
• This means that permissions for each document match the document permissions in the source.
  • For example, if a document is shared with a user on Google Drive, that user will be able to access that document in Onyx.
• This matching is done based on the user’s email.
• The permissions of documents owned by sync connectors are not editable within Onyx.
• Syncing is currently available for:
  • Google Drive
  • Confluence
  • Jira
  • Slack
