SharePoint Online Connector does not process Role Updates correctly (MINDBREEZE17003)

ID: MINDBREEZE17003 
Affected Components: Mindbreeze InSpire G7, Mindbreeze InSpire SaaS 
Severity: 4.1 Medium 
Status: Final 
First published: March 2, 2021 

Summary

Using the SharePoint Online connector with the Option "Enable Delta Crawl" active (enabled by default), changes to SharePoint user roles (Role Updates) are not processed correctly. This can lead to Document ACLs being out of date.

Impact

When a SharePoint Site Administrator is modifying an existing role and reduces the privileges, SharePoint online users can not access certain Items any more (as intended), but in the Mindbreeze Search, those Item are still visible, even after a delta crawl run.

Remediation

Workaround: Deactivate the "Enable Delta Crawl" Option in the connector settings

Hotfix Information

Fixed with following versions of Mindbreeze InSpire On-Premises or Mindbreeze InSpire SaaS:

• Mindbreeze InSpire 20.5 Release (Version 20.5.1.877)
• Mindbreeze InSpire SaaS 20.5 Release (Version 20.5.1.877)
