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
