Index visibility based on SMB Permissions
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2019 5:37 pm
Hello.
Love this tool, it's been a great asset for me. I'm trying to share an Index with a group of users who have varying permissions throughout the network. I have the central ETP server relaying the index perfectly over network shares. But now I'm coming into a question in regards to visibility and permissions.
Right now if I were to index a particular drive, the SMB permissions to even see certain files is not taken into consideration. Which makes sense given the way the Everything service is setup. The server sees everything, therefore it indexes everything. But since they due not have access they can't open the files. The filenames themselves they can see. Along with the location. This is not ideal. If a filename has a particularly sensitive name or location, I would prefer it not be pulled up in Everything at all unless they need to see it.
So I have two questions:
Is it possible to restrict visibility of items and their paths to those who don't have read access based on their user permissions?
or
Is it possible to establish connections with multiple ETP servers so I could setup one for each department, and then they could connect to each based on their permissions one time, and then have it connect to all the corresponding ETP servers?
Thank you!
