# Mapped Security

The Confluence REST Connector supports mapped security.

NOTE: To enable mapped security, you must install a Micro Focus plug-in on your Confluence server. The plug-in (and therefore mapped security) is not supported for Confluence instances that are hosted in the cloud.

The connector can extract security information for items in Confluence, and add an Access Control List (ACL) to each document that it produces.

The connector also supports the `SynchronizeGroups` action, to retrieve information about groups that are created and stored in Confluence. The connector sends the group information to OmniGroupServer.

ACL Format | `<Everyone>:U:<Users>:NU:<Negative Users>:G:<Groups>:NG:<Negative Groups>`
`SECURITYTYPE` Field Value | `Confluence` An IDOL index might contain documents that originated from different connectors. Confluence REST Connector adds the `SECURITYTYPE` field to each document, so that you can configure your IDOL Content component to recognize documents that originated from this connector, and process each document using the appropriate security type.

For more information about configuring Mapped Security with this connector, see Mapped Security.
