Administering Jive for SharePoint

Setting up the Integration
To set up a SharePoint Integration, you need to add a site collection or web application in the Admin Console, install the SharePoint Add-on, and then create the Storage Integration.

Create Connections to Site Collections
In the Admin Console, you can create connections to one or more SharePoint site collections or SharePoint Web Applications, and then use Jive Storage Management to create storage integrations where you define permissions for how the connections are handled. If you connect at the SharePoint Web Application level, then you can connect to any site collections under the web application from any place in your Jive community.

Disallowing Connections to a Site Collection
If you do not want Jive to connect to a specific site collection, you can place a property on that site collection that Jive will see and not allow a connection.

Installing the SharePoint Add-On
After creating connections to SharePoint in the Admin Console, you need to head over to your community and install the SharePoint Add-on.

Creating and Defining SharePoint Integrations
Configure Jive to integrate with a SharePoint site. Use Jive permission groups if you want to limit which users can create places (spaces, groups, or projects) that connect to SharePoint site collections.

Other External Storage Options
You can leverage other storage options, such as Box, even when you're already using Jive for SharePoint.

Permissions in Jive and SharePoint
Linked SharePoint sites are always based on a Jive place. Their permissions reflect both Jive place behavior and user permissions within SharePoint. A user who doesn't have access in Jive won't be able to access the linked site in SharePoint.

Configuring Identity Mapping
Mapping users' Jive identity to their SharePoint identity allows users to use Jive to view SharePoint content they have permission to see.
