The Active Directory Connector for ACLs indexes Access Control List (ACL) information into a configured “sidecar” Solr collection, so that it can be used by other connectors.During the security trimming stage, the ACL collection is queried using a Solr graph query, which creates a graph of the results using nodes from one document to another.To use the ACL collection, provide the inputs described below when configuring the Active Directory Connector for ACLs:
This article describes how to use an ACL collection generated by the Active Directory Connector for ACLs in V1 platform version.
