Analyze NTFS Permissions

Scan NTFS permissions on local drives, remote servers, or shared folders. The tool connects via shared paths or mapped drives and displays the full permission breakdown, who has access, what level (read, write, full control), and whether it’s inherited or explicitly assigned.

Active Directory NTFS Permissions

The NTFS Permissions tool audits folder permissions across your network shares by scanning access control lists (ACLs) and resolving group memberships to show exactly who has access to what. Add one or more folder paths, choose whether to include inherited permissions and subfolders, then scan to generate a detailed permissions report.

The members column shows the members of any Active Directory group that has permissions on a folder.

Search & Filter Permissions

The NTFS Reporter provides powerful search and filtering options for NTFS permissions reports, making it easy for administrators to quickly find specific users, groups, or permission types across local and remote folders. You can filter by access level, such as Read, Write, Modify, or Full Control, or search for particular accounts or folder paths. This functionality helps you focus on the most important permissions, streamline audits, and identify potential security risks with precision, even in large and complex file systems.

By narrowing results to exactly what matters, managing and securing folder access becomes faster and more efficient.

Export Options

The reporter includes a powerful CSV export feature that allows you to save NTFS permissions reports for easy analysis, sharing, or record-keeping. All critical details are preserved in the export, including user and group access, inherited and explicit permissions, and any applied filters. This makes it easy to sort and review data in Excel, integrate it with other security or auditing tools, or provide thorough documentation for compliance and audit purposes.

To export the report, click the export button in the top right and select your format.
