NTFS Permissions Reporter showing folder access rights for users and groups

Core features

Who can open which folder is rarely a question you can answer from the Security tab.

Scan local and remote servers. Report on NTFS permissions for local drives, remote servers, and network shares from one place, without logging into each machine.
User and group access rights. See exactly which users and groups have access to each folder, along with the permission level assigned to every one.
Inherited and effective permissions. View both inherited and explicitly assigned rights so you know each account's true effective access to a folder.
Resolve AD group members. Expand Active Directory groups down to the actual users inside them, so nested membership never hides who can get in.
Scan multiple servers at once. Point the tool at many servers in a single run and pull every folder's permissions into one consolidated report.
Export to Excel, CSV or PDF. Export the full report, or schedule it to run and email automatically for audits.
