Streamline SharePoint permission management

Report on, audit, and manage permissions in SharePoint

Navigating the complexities of SharePoint permissions can be challenging with the native SharePoint tool, which lacks the granular control and comprehensive oversight needed for robust security. For example, onboarding new users and granting them appropriate permissions across multiple sites gets repetitive and time-consuming. Plus, during internal audits, the lack of dedicated reporting and auditing capabilities forces admins to rely on manual reviews or PowerShell scripts—both tedious and error-prone. Identifying potential risks and maintaining least privilege access also become significant hurdles with inadequate permission management features.

SharePoint Manager Plus provides comprehensive reporting, auditing, and management features to help you overcome the native tool's limitations. With this unified tool, you can:

• Schedule comprehensive reports to understand who has access to your SharePoint Online sites.
• Audit the exact time a permission was assigned, modified, or removed.
• Identify which SharePoint objects users were granted access to by breaking inheritance.
• Get notified about privilege escalation, unauthorized access, and other permission modifications.
• Grant, remove, or copy SharePoint permissions in bulk for users and groups.
• Manage permissions and break inheritance for specific objects.
