Our organization has a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement which licenses all the employees for SharePoint. I have over 100 Name User Licenses and 20 times that number of employees. What types of things can I do with the SharePoint connector? with and without additional LF licensing.

The Laserfiche SharePoint integration (that comes with Web Access) contains several integration points.

Web parts that provide access to the repository and a search interface to perform Laserfiche specific searches. The integration takes the credentials of the user logged into the SharePoint site and passes that to the Laserfiche Server to handle authentication/security to the repository. This requires users to have a named user license.
SharePoint Search integration. This is different from the search web part in that this integration allows SharePoint to crawl the repository for searchable content which can then be searched on within SharePoint, providing federated search capabilities. This can be configured in a way in which the individual users do not need to have a named user license.
Records Center integration. Users can archive documents in SharePoint to the Laserfiche repository. This does not require users to have a named user license.

Laserfiche Workflow can also integrate with SharePoint. There are activities that allow list items to be created or deleted. This does not require individual SharePoint users to have named user licenses in the repository.

Hi Alex,

- Reference to your answer point 2 , how the user will be able to open the document returned by the search if he does not have a named license.

Thanks,

Dory

The search integration can be configured such that it uses a single account to check entry access rights for the search results. Opening these documents from search results just directly links the user to the document in Web Access and if they are not a named user, then they will need to log into Web Access somehow (i.e. some generic account).
