The Egnyte connector in DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files to/from your Egnyte account to/from cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the Egnyte connection by providing the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the account.

Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the account owner's name. For example, Egnyte (John Doe). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name. | Optional |
User Type | Required | |
Connect as standard user | Select this option to create a standard connection to access a user's files and folders. This is the default selection. | |
Connect as account administrator | Select this option to create an administrator connection. This requires administrator privileges and grants access to all accounts within the organization. This option is often used along with with impersonation to simplify transferring multiple user accounts. When connected as an administrator, the first level of folders will be user names. | |
Domain | Enter the URL for your Egnyte account. It will look something like https://companyname.egnyte.com. | Required |

Egnyte supports three levels of users: Administrators, Power Users, and Standard Users. DryvIQ handles each user differently. For more information about Egnyte users, refer to Egnyte's Users and Groups documentation.
Administrators: This is the user who registers for the account. That user is automatically set as the account administrator.
Power Users: These users are the company employees. These are considered internal users. Author preservation is preserved for content created in private folders and for Egnyte Power Users. Sharing permissions are also preserved for power users.
Standard Users: These are the company’s business partners. These are considered external users. If standard users are included in a group, they are not transferred, and DryvIQ will not log unresolved permission errors.
