About file sync between SharePoint and Jive
Connecting a Jive place (group, project, space) to SharePoint can be done in two ways.
You can connect a Jive place with SharePoint as follows:
- Connecting a place to SharePoint and creating a new site in SharePoint that syncs to the Jive
place.Permissions sync from the Jive Place to the SharePoint Site as follows:
- The Jive-Admins Permission Group(s) you have specified in the connection are added as an admin to each site created. This can be used for SharePoint admin users group or a specific user.
- The Jive-All-Users Permission Group(s) simulates the All Registered Users group in Jive. This can also be set up for specific groups.
- Connecting a Place to an existing SharePoint site.
SharePoint permissions remain unchanged.
Groups
| Group type | All registered users in Jive | Everyone principal in SharePoint |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Granted contribute | Added to Jive Contributors permission group |
| Members only | Granted read-only | Added to Jive Readers permission group |
| Private and Private Unlisted | No permission | No permission |
Projects
Projects inherit permission from the parent place. For example, if the project is under a members-only group, the Jive-All-Users Permission Groups are added to the Jive Readers permission group.
Ongoing sync
When a user joins or is added to a group, the SharePoint user that is mapped with the Jive user is added to the SharePoint site connected to the group. Similar behavior occurs when a user leaves or removed from a group — the user is removed from the SharePoint site as well.
Projects within a group that are connected to SharePoint inherit the group behavior.
