Glean Production Checklist

Overview

Glean provides enterprise search across all company data sources with AI-powered ranking and document understanding. A production integration requires all connectors indexed, document permissions correctly mapped, and search quality validated. Failures mean employees find stale documents, see content they lack permission for, or get zero results when data exists.

Authentication & Secrets

• GLEAN_API_KEY stored in secrets manager (not config files)
• Indexing API token separated from Search API token
• Key rotation schedule documented (quarterly cycle)
• Separate credentials for staging/prod environments
• Service account permissions scoped per data source connector
