Prerequisites

  • An Egnyte account with admin access to the Developer Portal
  • Access to the Search AI application

​
Step 1: Register Search AI as an OAuth Client in Egnyte

  1. Go to the Egnyte Developer Portal.
  2. Register a new client app to enable communication between Egnyte and Search AI:
    • Set Platform to Web App and Type to Publicly Available Application.
    • Set the Registered OAuth Redirect URI to the URL matching your deployment region:
      • JP Region: https://jp-bots-idp.kore.ai/workflows/callback
      • DE Region: https://de-bots-idp.kore.ai/workflows/callback
      • Prod: https://idp.kore.com/workflows/callback
  3. Ensure a key is generated for the Connect API.
  4. Click Register to generate the client key and secret.

​
Step 2: Configure the Egnyte Connector in Search AI

  1. In Search AI, go to the Authorization page of the Egnyte connector.
  2. Provide the following fields and click Connect:
    FieldValue
    NameUnique name for the connector
    Authorization TypeOAuth 2.0
    Grant TypeAuthorization Code
    Client IDKey generated in Step 1
    Client SecretSecret generated in Step 1
    Host URLDomain URL for content ingestion (e.g., https://domain.egnyte.com)
  3. Complete the authentication prompt to confirm the connection.

​
Content Ingestion

After connecting, go to the Configuration tab to set up synchronization:
  • Sync Now — triggers an immediate sync.
  • Schedule Sync — sets up automatic sync on a recurring schedule.
Search AI ingests files from all shared folders in the Egnyte account. Files in private folders are not ingested. The folder path for each file is available as a metadata field.

​
RACL Support

Search AI enforces permissions at the folder level. Any user or group with access to a folder can access all files in that folder. File-level permissions and link-based sharing are not supported. For nested folders, files inherit permissions from the immediate parent folder. Permissions are stored in the sys_racl field.
  • Individual users: The user’s email address is added to sys_racl.
  • User groups: The group ID is added to sys_racl.
  • Administrators: Admin permissions are explicitly listed in sys_racl.
Example — if a folder is accessible to a specific user and a user group: 
"sys_racl": [
    "john.smith@example.com",
    "b141b80a-7406-4c85-1e9435e699",
    "admin-group"
