Who has access to what in SharePoint?
SharePoint access can become difficult to keep track of over time. Binera SharePoint Explorer makes it easier to see who has access, how SharePoint permissions are actually configured, where access differs and which areas may require closer review.
SharePoint access becomes harder to keep track of over time
Groups, sharing, guests and unique permissions can make it difficult to answer a simple question: Who actually has access in SharePoint?
Too many people
Access may be granted to individual users, groups, external users and guests.
Too much sharing
Files and folders may be shared directly or through sharing links, making access harder to track over time.
Exceptions in the structure
Folders and files may have unique SharePoint permissions that differ from the surrounding structure.
Think of BSE as a map of access in SharePoint
BSE provides a clearer view of the structure and permissions, making SharePoint access reviews easier to carry out.
Find the area
Select the SharePoint site, document library, folder or document you want to review.
See the access
See users, groups, roles and permissions for the selected area.
Go deeper when needed
For larger reviews, BSE Analyzer can be used to make scan results easier to understand and prioritize.
What do you gain?
- Better visibility into how SharePoint access is actually configured.
- Less manual work when reviewing larger SharePoint areas.
- Visible exceptions such as unique permissions, external users, guests and sharing links.
- A better basis for clean-up, access reviews, internal control and audit.
BSE gives you the overview. Analyzer helps you prioritize.
BSE shows the SharePoint structure and the actual access. When larger areas need to be reviewed, BSE Analyzer makes the results easier to analyze and follow up.
When is BSE especially useful?
When you need to clean up
Identify the areas, groups and SharePoint permissions that are the most natural place to start.
When you need to review access
Get a clearer view of who has access in SharePoint and how that access is actually configured.
When you are unsure
Find old exceptions, groups, external users, guests or sharing arrangements that should be reviewed again.
