What's new in Permission Analyzer 2.3.7.201902011221
Feb 1, 2019
- Added a new preference to split file exports based on a maximum number of MB.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.3.6.201810261127 (Oct 26, 2018)
- Added a new report type “Folder/files and users with their effective permissions”. It is similar to the ACL report, but it hides group information and shows all users directly under the folder/file.
- Added the option to configure your own logo in the HTML reports (set your logo in the application preferences).
- Added a simplified version of most of the HTML reports, suitable for management overviews. Just select the checkbox “Simple presentation” in the report details, it will leave out some of the columns, checkboxes and filter information.
- Special permissions are default hidden in the HTML reports.
- Added a preference to configure the CSV separator, since Excel expects a semicolon while the default character is a comma.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.3.5 (Feb 14, 2018)
- Added a new filter option to invert the matching folders in the overview. Enabling this checkbox in the Folder filter panel will display all the folders that do not match the filter criteria. This can be useful to create an overview of all folders that do not have a particular member in the ACL list. For example, include a member filter Administrators, and check the option Invert matching folders. This will display all folders that don’t have the Administrators group on them. The exclude member filter will not work in this case, because it will just exclude the Administrators permissions from the overview, but the folders will still appear since they have other permissions that match the filter.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.3.4 (Sep 6, 2017)
- Added a wizard to create new policies
- Performance improvements in the Report View when using an external database
- Reorganized the list of items to scan (servers, local directories, shares, etc.)
New in Permission Analyzer 2.3.3 (Jan 31, 2017)
- Added file owners to the overviews, including a filter on the account name of an owner
- Added the option to display ownership ratio in the overview (this is default disabled because of the performance impact, but can be enabled in the preferences)
- Added the option to change the ownership and file inheritance in the context menu of the file tree
New in Permission Analyzer 2.3.1 (Nov 7, 2016)
- Added the feature to import a text file generated by a given PowerShell script.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.3.0 (Oct 27, 2016)
- Created a better separation between reports and policies, including a dialog that shows the current status of all your policies.
- Added a wizard to create a new policy
- Renamed the report types and added a new report type that orders the data by user/group
New in Permission Analyzer 2.2.1 (Oct 27, 2016)
- Added two new tabs in the Report View. One tab with the members of the selected directory and their effective permissions and one tab that displays all users and groups that have been found in the directory tree, including their ACE’s.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.2.0 (Oct 27, 2016)
- Support for Scan Agents that run locally on the file server and submit their information to a central database. The previous version would always truncate the existing data from the database, this is now configurable in the Scan View.
- A new checkbox has been introduced in the Scan View to exclude inherited permissions from the scan. So besides excluding them in the overview, they can now be excluded from the database completely. This means the database will be a lot smaller (and faster) in that case.
- The export reports contain a new column with the number of members per directory.
- Uchecking the member column in the HTML report will now hide the whole ACE row.
- The HTML reports have a new icon to copy the file path quickly to the clipboard.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.1.2 (Oct 27, 2016)
- Added support for long file paths (Windows MAX_PATH limitation).
New in Permission Analyzer 2.1.1 (Oct 27, 2016)
- A new panel has been added to display all members that have been found in the results after the filters are applied.
New in Permission Analyzer 2.1.0 (Oct 27, 2016)
- A new audit dashboard with 18 charts showing statistics about your network users and groups, permissions and files.
New in Permission Analyzer 1.6.0 (Jul 16, 2011)
- Better traceability of permissions (track the source of permissions), filter support for inherited or explicit permissions, better support for special permissions, improved HTML reports
