Permissions Reporter

A Permissions Reporter project allows you to configure which folders will be ignored during permissions report generation.

 

Adding an Exclusion

 

Click the Add Exclusion button to add an excluded folder. The resulting pop-up window offers two types of exclusion:

 

•Exclude path - Allows you to exclude a fully qualified file system path (i.e. "c:\windows") during report generation.

•Exclude folders named - Allows you to exclude all folders that match a specified name (i.e. "temp").

 

More Exclusion Options

 

•Exclude system folders - When engaged, this option causes any folder with the NTFS "system" attribute to be excluded.

•Skip mount points, symbolic links, and junctions - Most of the time it is not desirable to traverse such folders, since they redirect to other parts of the file system.

•Exclude folders deeper than level - Allows you to exclude folders exceeding a specified depth level.

 

Important: When a part of the file system is excluded, no data will be collected for it or its sub-folders. Therefore, none of the reports available within this program will reflect the contents of excluded portions of the file system.
