Document Access Control Setting

Description

If selected, users can create secure links to documents they find through search and share them with external users (through the Keep web application or REST API).

Warning

Document Sharing is enabled at the system level, which means that if an internal user has a Document ID, they can use the Keep REST API to find and share that document, regardless of their access permissions. To enforce document access verification on all API requests, turn on the Document Access Control setting.

Archive Paths

Document files and application data are stored as files. The location is configurable on the Archive Paths tab.

Under the default configuration, document files and application data are stored in a directory on a file system. However, for Microsoft Azure Cloud deployments, Keep stores document files and application data as Blobs in Azure containers.

The Available Archive Paths area lists the currently specified file locations. You can create archive path items here and then assign them to one of the following settings (to specify the file location used for each of them):

  • Documents Path

  • Chunks Path

If you change Documents Path or Chunks Path, click Save Changes.
