Stay on top of who has access to what

The Netwrix Effective Permissions Reporting Tool helps you make sure that employees’ permissions align with their roles in the organization. The freeware tool delivers a file share and Active Directory permissions report that details who has access to what and how that access was gained.

Gain control over who has access to what

Enables you see users’ AD group membership and file share permissions in a single report, along with whether those file share permissions were assigned explicitly or inherited.

Lock down excessive permissions

Provides actionable information you can use to rescind unneeded access rights and thereby ensure users have only the permissions they need to do their jobs.

Minimize the risk of a breach

Helps you reduce security gaps by making sure your valuable data can be accessed only by eligible employees.

Simplify your IT team’s life

Enables you to quickly track down any user’s permissions across both AD and file servers and get ready-to-use reports in a few clicks.

Ensure compliance

Assists you with collecting proof that all permissions are aligned with HR job descriptions and employee roles in the organization.

Get it free of charge

Never expires, so you can be sure it’ll be there for you when you need it most.

Streamline your next audit by quickly pulling out an effective permissions report

Managers and compliance auditors often ask IT admins to furnish a list of all effective group membership and file share permissions granted to a group or a particular user. With native tools, responding to these requests requires manually pulling together multiple scripts, which can be both tedious and time-consuming. But with the Netwrix Effective Permissions Reporting Tool, you can satisfy such requests in minutes, validating the effective permissions and group memberships for a specific user or a group across AD and file shares.

"Netwrix helps us identify which users have access to protected folders or payroll or accounting folders that contain business-critical information and require special protection, so we can be proactive in terms of defense against insider misuse."
