Google Directory

The Google Directory Secondary Security Sync ensures users and groups from Google mean something to Aiimi Insight Engine. Running this sync will give users visibility of the files they have access to in Google Drive.

It takes the user aliases and groups from Google and indexes this in a secondary set of security indices. These indices are used during permission trimming for files, not for authentication.

Advanced

Frequency

1. Results Per Page: Choose how many users and groups can be retrieved in one call.

   • This is defaulted to 100 but must be between 100 and 500.

   • Increasing this can impact performance. A higher number means fewer calls but requires more memory.
