External Repository User Groups
When you connect a document vault to an external repository using the Intelligent Metadata Layer technology, all or some of the user groups in the external repository are imported to M-Files Server, depending on your connector configuration.
The External Repository User Groups view in M-Files Admin allows you to manage and refine associations between M-Files users or M-Files user groups and external repository users or external repository user groups. When you associate an M-Files user or user group with an external repository user group, the M-Files user or user group inherits the access rights of the external repository user group. This way you can refine the access rights of an M-Files user to external repository content.
Depending on your connector configuration, automatic associations between M-Files users or M-Files user groups and external repository users or external repository user groups may be established in external repository connections. See Automatic Association for more information.
