Creating a Shinydocs Service Account in NetDocuments

Creating and Mapping the Service Account

NetDocuments requires an internal service account that is mapped to the Shinydocs application.

  1. In the NetDocuments Admin Console, select Users & Groups.

  2. Click Add User.

  3. In the Add User popup, enter the email address for the new service account user and click OK.

  4. In the Details tab, enter the required details and any additional details you would like to add to the account. Then, select these options near the bottom of the window:

    1. User type: Internal

    2. Repository admin type: Full

    3. Other options: Non-Interactive Application Service Account

  5. Click the Save button.

  6. Navigate to the Service Accounts tab in Users & Groups and click the Create Service Account button.

  7. Enter the email address you provided in Step 3, and click the Create button.

  8. Enter the Client ID: AP-MT00CP73 and click the Create Mapping button.

  9. Click the Save button.

  10. On the NetDocuments Cabinets page, select the cabinet to map to the service account

    1. You will need to repeat this process for each cabinet you want to analyze

  11. Go to the Cabinet Administrators and add the service account you created as a cabinet administrator.

  12. Ensure the created service account has DEFAULT rights to your selected cabinet.

Next steps

With the application registered and the service account created and mapped, you will need to gather your NetDocuments Repository ID. This ID will be used in the Shinydocs Pro NetDocuments configuration.

  1. In the NetDocuments Admin Console, go to Information and Settings

  2. In the General section, copy the ID displayed (ex. AB-CDE1FGH2), which is your NetDocuments Repository ID.

Shinydocs Pro can analyze all cabinets it has access to or you can provide specific Cabinet IDs. If you want to use Cabinet IDs, gather those now.

Add NetDocuments to Shinydocs Pro

Once you have created the Shinydocs Service Account in the NetDocuments Admin Console, and mapped it to the cabinets you wish to analyze, you are ready to make the connection and start analyzing your content.

  1. In either Quick-Start or + Add Source, select NetDocuments as your source

  2. On the next page, Shinydocs Pro will ask you for the following information

    Name: Provide a name for the source, this name will be used in Shinydocs Pro to differentiate from other sources.
    Server Url: Enter the URL for NetDocuments, this is typically https://api.vault.netvoyage.com
    Client Id: AP-MT00CP73

    Repository ID: Your NetDocuments Repository ID
    Example: AB-CDE1FGH2

  3. Click Next

  4. Optionally, enter the Cabinet ID of the NetDocuments cabinet you wish to crawl. If you do not enter an ID, all cabinets will be crawled where permissions are granted to Shinydocs.

  5. Click Start Analysis to begin the crawl.

  6. Congratulations, you have connected Shinydocs Pro to your NetDocuments repository! Your crawl will be added to the queue or will start crawling immediately
