Security reports

Security Reports provide permission and ownership insights that are helpful in detecting file security issues such as undue privileges or inconsistent permissions.

To view the Security Reports:

  • Select File Analysis from the modules drop-down. Go to Reports > Security Reports.
  • Select the report you wish to view.
  • Choose a Server Name to view data for that particular server.
Tip: Use the Filter option at the top to sort the report data by a particular detail, like the File Type or File Name.

The following reports are available under Security Reports:

  • Files with Open Access lists files that are publicly accessible. For example, let's say that the Everyone group has been granted access to a particular file. This will lead to most domain users having unregulated access to that file even though not all users require it. This report helps identify such undue access that different users and groups have to files. By default, open access is configured as the Everyone and Guests groups having Any Control and the Authenticated Users group having Full Control. You can modify these settings on the Report Configuration page.
  • Full Control lists the files to which the selected users have Full Control access.
  • Inconsistent Permission lists files with broken inheritances.
Notes:
  • Files deleted directly from the reports cannot be retrieved.
  • Reports have graphs summarizing the overall data for up to three categories: the top actors by department, file size, and file owner. The department-based graph fetches data after the completion of the domain sync process and the automatic security and full scans. If the automatic scans fail, run them manually from Configuration > Data Sources > Windows File Server > View schedule status.
Tip: Graphs can be used to filter the report data corresponding to a particular actor. For example, if one of the top actors in the Top departments by file storage size graph is Department A, clicking the bar denoting Department A filters the report and shows data for this actor alone.
