🔒 Permissions
​

Only administrators can enable and configure this integration. Adding SharePoint database access may require special rights to these databases.
​

This integration allows you to connect SharePoint databases to Elium. When a user initiates an advanced search, Elium will perform that search on the SharePoint databases in addition to the content found on Elium.
​

This integration is particularly beneficial if you want to use Elium as your central knowledge platform while still having documents that are, or need to remain, on SharePoint for reasons specific to your organization.
​

You can activate this integration through the "Integration" tab in the platform's administration panel. Once the integration is activated, you will be prompted to authenticate to SharePoint. After authentication, you will have access to the integration configuration.
​

In the example above, two databases have been connected: "Customer Success" and "Engineering". These databases will be available to users as tabs in the advanced search.
​

Once configured, Elium will automatically run searches in parallel on your Elium platform and the connected SharePoint databases.
​

The databases are displayed as tabs in the search.
​

In the example above, the user has performed a search with the keywords "terms conditions". By clicking on the "Customer Success" tab, the user can access the search results from the database of the same name, all while remaining in Elium.
​

The integration with SharePoint respects user rights. Therefore, users must authenticate to SharePoint via Elium before they can access search results from SharePoint databases. Searches are then conducted using the user's SharePoint credentials.
