What Is an NTFS Permissions Reporter?
An NTFS permissions reporter is a software tool that scans Windows file systems and reports who has access to which files, folders, and network shares. It resolves users, groups, and inherited access control entries so administrators can audit permissions across an entire server without opening each folder's Security tab by hand. Permissions Reporter is a fast, network-enabled NTFS permissions reporter for Windows that audits file, folder, and share permissions across local drives, servers, and domains, and presents the results in interactive tree and table views.
It also works as a complete permissions auditing platform: expand group membership (including nested groups), flag files whose permissions differ from their parent folder, isolate orphaned SIDs and broken inheritance, compare reports over time to see what changed, schedule recurring audits with email delivery, run from the command line, and export to Excel, PDF, HTML, XML, CSV, and JSON.
