Finite Group acts on a category

Let CC be a category, GG be a finite group. For each gGg \in G, suppose we have a functor [g]:CC[g]: C \to C, such that there are natural equivalences [g1][g2]undefined[g1g2][g_1] [g_2] \xto{\cong} [g_1 g_2], satisfying associativity condition. Then, we can call this a group acting on a category.

Is this picture enough?

Example: permutation group acts on product

Suppose C=Fuk([(C)2]3)C = Fuk( [(\C^*)^2]^3) and S3S_3 permute the three factors of (C)2(\C^*)^2. I somehow want the action to preserve the holomorphic symplectic structure, hence the holomorphic volume. Now, this category is very simple, it is just Loc(T6)Loc(T^6), and is mirror to Coh([(C)2]3)Coh( [(\C^*)^2]^3) , so we can apply the same construction, we then get Coh([(C)2]n)SnCoh(Hilbn((C)2)) Coh( [(\C^*)^2]^n )^{S_n} \cong Coh (Hilb^n( (\C^*)^2)) Now, that's funny, because there are something really non-trivial about the last equivalences. What's the mirror of that statment? Fuk([(C)2]n)Sn?? Fuk( [(\C^*)^2]^n )^{S_n} \cong ??

I don't know what kind of answer to expect.
