# Update the connector features **PUT /_connector/{connector_id}/_features** Update the connector features in the connector document. This API can be used to control the following aspects of a connector: * document-level security * incremental syncs * advanced sync rules * basic sync rules Normally, the running connector service automatically manages these features. However, you can use this API to override the default behavior. To sync data using self-managed connectors, you need to deploy the Elastic connector service on your own infrastructure. This service runs automatically on Elastic Cloud for Elastic managed connectors. ## Servers - http://api.example.com: http://api.example.com () ## Authentication methods - Api key auth - Basic auth - Bearer auth ## Parameters ### Path parameters - **connector_id** (string) The unique identifier of the connector to be updated. ### Body: application/json (object) - **features** (object) ## Responses ### 200 #### Body: application/json (object) - **result** (string) [Powered by Bump.sh](https://bump.sh)
