One of the main tasks in today´s administration is answering logical questions about abstract environments. These questions are usually asked by non-IT departments and can look like "Who has which access to the Documents-Folder of Department X" or "Where can User XY access to?"
Answering these questions usually takes days for professionals, and even after these days, would you sign that document?

Looking for answers for these questions will bring up a huge list of 3rd-Party Tools for Auditing and Documenting your filesystem-environment. Many Tools can read out the Access lists (ACL) of your folders and document them in any way.

But solving the main problem will not be done, because you will end up with a bunch of groups accessing your folders – so, WHO is member of these groups? Groups can, and often will, contain other groups. So answering the question will end up with many many open windows of your Users and Computers MMC. Will these Problems persist when you are using the Enterprise Permission Reporter application? - No!
