Permissions Reporter

A Permissions Reporter project allows you to define which portions of the file system are targeted for permissions reporting.

 

Permissions Reporter supports a wide range of folders, including:

 

•Local drives (i.e. "c:\")

•Local folders (i.e. "c:\program files")

•Network paths (i.e. "\\server\share\folder")

 

Adding a Folder

 

Click the Add Folder button to add a file system path. The resulting pop-up window provides three means of adding folders to the project:

 

•Add a single folder - Browse for a local or network file system path, or enter one directly by typing it in. You can also use environmental variables (such as %LOCALAPPDATA%) within the paths, and they will be resolved when the scan executes.

•Import folder list from a text file - Allows you to import a list of file system paths from a text file. The text file should contain a list of paths to be imported, each on a separate line.

•Discover shares - Provides a means of listing shares on one or more computers or domains (separate multiple entries with a comma).

 

Removing Folders

 

Select one or more folder paths (hold the CTRL key down to select multiple entries) and click the Remove Selected button to remove them.

 

Tip: If you uncheck and entry in the folder list, it will be ignored during permissions report generation. This provides an easy way to disable a folder path without removing it.
