Manage Security and Users across SharePoint 2010
The following DeliverPoint features enable you to easily report and manage SharePoint Permissions.
Discover Permissions
The Discover Permissions option is available at Site, List, and List Item level. As the owner of any of these objects, you can find out exactly who has permissions to the object and how they get permissions to the object. E.g. If the user is a member of a nested domain group which then is assigned permissions to a SharePoint Group, you will be able to see the assigned permission and the fact that the permission was granted to the user via a domain group. Unlike other permission management tools, DeliverPoint provides this report at the object itself. E.g. via the Site Actions, List Settings or List Item Drop Down Menu.
Unique Permission Report
The Unique Permissions report is often run by SharePoint Farm Administrators or Site Collection Administrators. The report provides a full list of the permissions for a selected User or Domain Group. The report will show you which Domain Groups and SharePoint Groups the Account is a member of, which Site Collections, Sites, Lists and List Items the Account has permissions to displaying the permission level and how the permission was assigned to them. The results can be exported to Excel for analysis.
Copy Permissions
If a new user or domain group is created, using DeliverPoint you can copy permissions to the new account on any given scope. For example, if you have a new sales person join your company, permissions can be copied from an existing Sales person to the new Sales person at the Sales site collection level.
Transfer Permissions
If a user changes role or leaves the organization, permissions can be transferred from the person leaving the company to a new starter. This ensures that they can access all of the required workspaces, documents, lists and list items. This is a useful feature if you have a newly created domain. DeliverPoint can transfer permissions from OLDDOMAIN\USER to NEWDOMAIN\USER.
Delete Permissions
As a person leaves the organization, permissions can be deleted for a selected user or domain group at any given scope such as Farm, or Web Application.
Dead Account Removal
Accounts that are deleted in the Active Directory will still be present in SharePoint. SharePoint will detect these Dead Accounts providing the ability to remove the account from SharePoint at Site Collection level.
