Known limitations for the SharePoint (Online) connector
The SharePoint (Online) connector has the following known limitations:
-
The Amazon Q SharePoint (Online) connector supports custom field mappings only for the Files entity.
-
If an entity name has a
%
character in its name, the connector will skip these files due to API limitations. -
OneNote can only be crawled by the connector using a Tenant ID, and with OAuth 2.0, OAuth 2.0 refresh token, or SharePoint (Online) App Only authentication activated for SharePoint (Online) Online.
-
The connector crawls the first section of a OneNote document using its default name only, even if the document is renamed.
-
The connector crawls event attachments only when Events is also selected as an entity to be crawled.
-
For SharePoint (Online) Online version, the ACL token will be in lower case. For example, if User principal name is
MaryMajor@domain.com
in Azure portal, the ACL token in the SharePoint Connector will bemarymajor@domain.com
. For SharePoint (Online), if the user principal name in your Azure Portal is a combination of upper case and lower case, the SharePoint API internally converts the user principal name to lower case. -
If you want to crawl nested groups using Identity crawler, you have to activate Local as well as AD Group Crawling.
-
The User Principal Name in your Azure Portal is a combination of upper case and lower case, the SharePoint (Online) API internally converts it to lower case. Because of this, the Amazon Q SharePoint (Online) connector sets ACL in lower case.
-
To use Identity Crawler with SharePoint (Online) to crawl nested groups, you have to enable both Local and AD Group Crawling.
-
Query responses based on AD Group ACLs are not supported for SharePoint (Online). You need to add users and groups directly to your document permissions list.
