SharePoint permission and security reports

It is important to maintain least privilege in an organization to prevent data breaches. Making sure users and groups have only the necessary access is vital. SharePoint Manager Plus' security and permission reports are the eyes and ears of your SharePoint environment. These reports help answer questions including:

• Which sites and files have unique permissions?
• Which users were assigned permissions directly?
• Which files have been shared externally outside the organization?
• What permissions were assigned to Active Directory and SharePoint groups?
• Which items do not inherit permissions from their parent?

SharePoint Manager Plus provides permission and security reports for both on-premises and online SharePoint environments. The categories of security reports are listed below.

• Site permissions
• Folder and file permissions
• External and sharing access
• Broken inheritance
• User and site access
• Group configuration

Site permissions

View all site-wide permissions assigned to users and also to SharePoint and Active Directory groups. Find out which users have been assigned permissions directly, as opposed to through groups, and which items have unique permissions.

Folder and file permissions

Having visibility into which users and groups have access to SharePoint resources, like document libraries, folders, and files, is equally important. Get information on which users and groups have access to these resources along with what level of permissions they have to access them.

External and sharing access

View the external users that have access to your SharePoint objects. Also, gain insights on anonymously shared objects with sharing links and the links that have expired.

Broken inheritance

Get insight on which items do not inherit permissions from their parent object. These reports display the sites, lists, and list items like folders and files that do not inherit permissions from their parents.

User and site access

View all users and groups that have access to your sites with information on group owners, members, and user count. Also, get information on deleted users and site collection administrators.

Group configuration

Get insights on group configurations such as which group members have view or edit membership and which members are required to raise a request to join or leave a group.
