Abstract
Documents maintained by a first storage system that supports security groups are synchronized to a second storage system that supports group entities, which are incompatible with security groups. Permissions associated with the synchronized documents, including security groups, can be synchronized from the first storage system to the second storage system when a security group is created, when membership in a security group is modified, and when a security group is deleted. Synchronization of security groups in this manner can also be selectively enabled on a per-site basis or at another level of granularity.
