NTFS Permissions Report Tool

Use an NTFS permissions report tool to streamline user access control and compliance auditing

Easily view NTFS permissions

Access Rights Manager (ARM) allows admins to quickly run and view reports on NTFS file and folder permissions. Secure folder management is critical for protecting file contents from unauthorized access, but manually monitoring NTFS file system permissions can be a burden. For instance, admins must ensure folders are non-inheritable and that objects can only be accessed by the correct users and groups. 

ARM’s scalable, automated reporting brings together NTFS settings data from across your system and log files, and is designed to eliminate the need to run PowerShell scripts. ARM’s built-in NTFS and Active Directory folder permissions reports can also help you track permissions for vital system directories and provide a comprehensive overview of user access and behavior.

Create compliance-ready NTFS reports for auditing

Compliance reporting can take up valuable hours, but ARM is built to automatically generate and easily send reports to the appropriate stakeholders on-demand or on a regular basis. The built-in report templates in ARM can be customized to include only the activities needed, including settings, changes, and user activity, to create an audit-ready NTFS permissions report that helps you demonstrate compliance with a range of regulatory standards, including GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. SolarWinds® ARM compliance reports are designed to offer real-time insights into user actions, so you can quickly see and monitor who is accessing or modifying critical drives and directories.

In addition to supporting compliance reporting requirements, ARM also features the ability to generate a report to show broken Access Control Lists (ACLs). Broken ACLs can interfere with NTFS inheritance on fileservers and lead to subdirectories not getting the correct inherited permissions, even though inheritance is enabled.

Tighten access controls with an NTFS permissions report tool

SolarWinds shared folder permissions reporting tool is designed to provide a comprehensive security overview to help you ensure settings and access rights are properly configured to minimize risk.

ARM can help you more easily answer two of the most crucial questions about your NTFS permissions:

  • Are your NTFS permissions set according to the principle of least privilege?
  • Are you leaving inactive or expired temporary accounts open, potentially exposing your organization to a security breach?

With NTFS permissions reporting, you can easily detect insecure user credentials, user attempts to escalate privilege, and any misuses of credentials. You can also quickly understand the scope of your NTFS permissions management needs and flag insecure settings throughout your system. ARM can also be used to automatically assign, modify, or revoke permissions in response to issues identified in NTFS file permissions reports.
