NTFS Permissions Report

Description

The NTFS Permission Report is designed to quickly analyze and report file system permissions across Windows directories and shares. It scans selected folders and subdirectories, retrieves their NTFS access control lists (ACLs), and presents the effective permissions for users, groups, and system accounts.

This tool is ideal for system administrators, security auditors, and IT professionals who need to identify access issues, verify compliance, or troubleshoot permission-related problems. Results can be exported for documentation or further analysis, making it easy to review who has read, write, modify, or full-control rights across your file system.
