Portal:
External Group Map
When a crawler finds an ACL entry for a source document referring to
any of the mapped external groups, the crawler replaces the external group
name with a reference to the mapped portal group.
Note: These entries
are global, so all crawlers make this substitution.
You can use these mapping to unify disparate group names existing across
document repositories. For example, you might want make Notes documents
that are available to the Notes group Engineers
and Exchange messages that are available to the Exchange group Engineering
available to the portal group Developers.
To do so, you would add the Developers group to this page and map "Engineers,Engineering" to it.
Note: If your portal group name
matches the external group name, the mapping occurs automatically and
you do not need to add the mapping to this page.
To map portal groups to external groups, you can perform the following
actions:
To add a portal group to the map, click 
Add Mapping;
then, in the Select Groups dialog box, select the groups you want to map
and click OK.
To edit the portal group name in this mapping
(this will not affect the actual portal group), in the Portal
Group Name column, click 
. In the text box that
displays, edit
the name, then click 
to save your change.
To specify which external groups map to a selected
portal group, in the External Group Name
column, click and, in the text box that displays,
type the external groups you want to map, separated by commas (,). Click
to save the mapping.
To remove a mapping, select the mapping and click
.
To select or clear all of the mapping check boxes,
select or clear the box to the left of Portal
Group Name.
To toggle the order in which the groups are sorted,
click Portal Group Name. The icon
to the right of Portal Group Name signifies
the current alphabetical sort order: ascending (
) or descending
(
).
