After evaluating all the proposed options listed under this one idea, we have moved forward and shipped updates with our March release to the Windows Server inspector to include updated local File Share data and permissions. We feel this addresses a majority of the requests encompassed under this idea, thus we are marking this item as shipped to return those valuable votes back to partners.
We have created a new idea https://ideas.liongard.com/ideas/RPM-I-1058 that focuses strictly on the File Server role for Windows servers. If the recent updates do not address your needs, please go and upvote this idea so we can properly gauge interest is this idea.
It would be useful to be able to click a button somewhere and download a report that would give a tree structured report with all user/groups by share. We have a customer who has over the years and many adds/moves/changes now has a complicated mess of their shares and it needs to be reconciled and re-aligned.
Would also be good to have a table which included folders with broken inheritance.
Agreed, Folder shares, NTFS & Share permissions and what users/security Groups have access to each share
I would like to add DFS monitoring to this thread. Not sure if this should be broken out into a separate request?
But having active monitoring on DFS replication and changes in DFS permissions would be great.
Also Adds and Deletions in DFS Namespace would be good
I think a very simple list of Folder Shares -> NTFS and Share Permissions Granted would be a great start ...
Would be very usefule to track changes to Security and Share Permissions of a Windows File Share.
This would be a great feature especially if you can export it to pdf / csv. Â Â I could then give it to the client to confirm permissions more easily with them.Â
would also like it to be able to scan a subnet and pull shares that way.Â
Last modified, creator, owner - in addition to share and local permissions help significantly with various scenarios. Whether it is remediation of a data-loss/overwrite issue, planning a server/data migration (server to server, file-share to Sharepoint, etc.), or confirming data compliance controls are being followed - this information would streamline a lot of that.
The key for it being useful for us is going to be presenting it in a way where we can immediately find the root-level ACLs for the share and any inheritance exceptions (either added security principals or disabled inheritance on subfolders). The NTFS Owner attribute might also be helpful to have but less essential for us.
In addition to an inspector, the ability to tie actionable alerts to this would be indispensable as a key use case would be getting notified if permissions change in any way on a sensitive share location.
It would be nice to have the ability to select a file/folder and choose what to monitor such as:
Add, change, delete, permissions, etc.Â
This is a really good suggestion, we also like to keep track of client shares, permissions, what security groups have access to what shares. This is currently done manually, so if Roar can automate it, then it wold save us hours of time.
This would be a nice feature. We like to keep track of client shares, permissions and with certain clients review this with them. If the permission structure could report on what users/groups have access to certain shares, then get change notifications when that happens would be great.
