With PowerShell scripts, it is hard to regularly monitor NTFS permissions and specify the level of inheritance. In contrast,
ADManager Plus lets you check, analyze, and manage Windows folder and file permissions while executing the appropriate
measures to enhance NTFS folder security with simple GUI-based actions.

ADManager Plus serves as a Windows file permissions reporting tool, helping admins analyze the permissions of folders
and enhance overall security.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is the need for NTFS permission reporting?

Managing sensitive folders and files across an organization is challenging as it requires constant monitoring to detect and avoid unauthorized access. As role changes are dynamic, NTFS permission reporting tools can be of great help in monitoring and managing the multiple layers of NTFS permissions.

2. How do you modify NTFS permissions?

You can modify the NTFS permissions of an object from the Security tab in Properties. Different categories of NTFS access permissions are available: Full Control, Read & Execute, Modify, Read, and Write. NTFS permissions are often modified by AD groups so that those permissions would apply to all the users in the group. However, repeating this operation for every directory is time-consuming.

3. What are the basic features of a Windows folder permissions reporting tool?

Folder permissions reporting tools gather data from your entire file system, fetching the permissions settings of the specified files and folders. The reports contain information related to access control, such as who has access to what resources from when. You can identify any misconfigured folder permissions from the reports and flag them if needed.

4. How does ADManager Plus stand out as an NTFS folder permissions tool?

ADManager Plus lets you analyze and modify NTFS and share permissions on multiple folders from a central location in just a few clicks. Using the NTFS permissions reporter, you can identify existing NTFS permissions at a granular level without writing any scripts. You can also export folder permissions to Excel and automate folder permissions reporting.
