NTFS folder permissions and access reports

NTFS permissions determine who has access to what files and folders in an organization. For efficient folder management, it is important to regularly monitor NTFS permissions and specify the level of inheritance. However, performing these tasks using native tools like PowerShell scripts can prove to be a cumbersome process.

On the other hand, with ADManager Plus' Permissions for Folders report, administrators can check, analyze, and manage Windows folder and file permissions and network-attached storage (NAS) file servers while executing the appropriate measures to enhance NTFS folder security. The generated reports can be scheduled to be delivered at a specified time and can be exported in CSV, HTML, PDF, CSVDE, and XLSX file formats.

Permissions for Folders report

• This report lists the folder permissions of all the users and groups for a specific folder.
• The associated access control entries clearly indicate the level of access a user or group has on a folder, and any inheritable permissions are specified as well. Administrators can check for folder permissions at the subfolder level as needed.
• This file and directory permissions report can be generated automatically.
• It can also be used as an NTFS permissions analyzer to ensure that the right access has been given to the folders.

Administrators can easily secure their folders by monitoring NTFS security permissions on folders.

Non-inheritable Folders report
