item-level permissions

Item-level permissions are a key security feature in enterprise file storage, ensuring that access controls follow individual files or folders rather than applying broadly. A recent thread on WindowsForum discusses NetApp's new connector for Microsoft 365 Copilot, which allows on-premises and cloud NetApp data to be accessed by Copilot while preserving item-level security. This means that even when enterprise data is indexed and made searchable, the original permissions set on each item remain enforced, preventing unauthorized access. The connector supports containerized deployment and aims to maintain high performance during document ingestion and indexing, addressing a common challenge in hybrid cloud environments.
