Lexion
The Lexion custom connector brings your organization's Lexion contract and document content into Glean. It indexes documents and tasks so employees can search contracts and related work items directly from Glean.
The Lexion custom connector is set up by the Glean team. Contact Glean Support to get started.
Prerequisites
To set up the Lexion connector, you need the following ready before contacting Glean Support:
- Lexion API key: an API key with read access to documents and tasks.
- HTTPS network access: the connector must reach your Lexion API endpoint over HTTPS.
Supported objects and content types
The connector indexes the following content from Lexion:
- Documents: contract and other files stored in Lexion.
- Tasks: work items tracked in Lexion.
- Users: indexed for identity resolution only, so Glean can attribute documents and tasks to their authors and assignees. Users are not searchable as standalone objects.
How permissions work
The Lexion connector enforces access based on document and task ownership and group membership rather than exposing content to your entire Glean tenant.
Access control
- Each document and task is visible to its author or assignee, resolved from indexed user records.
- Each document and task is also visible to a fixed set of groups configured for your organization during setup.
- Anonymous access is not enabled by default. Users only see documents and tasks they are authorized to access.
Permission sync
- Permission changes in Lexion take effect in Glean after the next scheduled crawl completes.
- There is no real-time permission sync. Plan for a delay between updating access in Lexion and seeing those changes reflected in Glean search results.
Sync behavior
The connector runs full crawls only; incremental crawls are not supported.
- Full crawl: indexes all documents and tasks (or a subset, depending on your configuration) on every run.
Each crawl runs on a schedule, and documents or tasks removed from Lexion are removed from Glean's index on the next crawl.
Next steps
Contact Glean Support with the prerequisites above to begin setting up the Lexion connector for your organization.
