Manage search result visibility

To manage whether a data source should be searchable, navigate to the admin console > Data sources, and click on the specific data source you'd like to configure. Note: You must be a Glean admin to access these pages.

Once you've clicked into a particular data source, you'll see a section called "Search results" on the Overview tab for the app. Here, you can:

  • Add the data source to search results

  • Remove the data source from search results

  • Limit search results for the data source to a select group of teammates (e.g. "test group").

What is a test group and what should I use it for?

When you're setting up a new data source in Glean, you may want to test with a group of teammates before enabling it for everyone. This ensures that it is properly set up and the results are appearing as expected.

To set up a test group, go to admin console > Data sources and click on the "Manage test group" button. Here, you can add teammates who already have access to Glean to be a part of the test group. Teammates in the test group will only see results from apps they have access to.

It may take up to 30 minutes for changes to take effect. During this time, teammates who have been added may not see results from the data source, while removed teammates may still see those results.
