Roar Enhancement Ideas

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

This would be a great feature especially if you can export it to pdf / csv.    I could then give it to the client to confirm permissions more easily with them. 

would also like it to be able to scan a subnet and pull shares that way.
