Audit folder permissions across any local or network path
Built by a working MSP engineer. This is the tool I wished existed.
NTFS Permissions Reporter gives you a fast, readable view of who has access to what — across any Windows file share. Expand the folder tree, click any folder, and see exactly who has access and where those permissions came from. Export a self-contained interactive HTML report you can send directly to a client or manager.
Expand, collapse, and search folders. Click any row to see its full permission set — explicit entries and inherited ones, with source folder shown.
Amber rows instantly flag folders where inheritance is disabled. One-click filter shows only the affected folders across the entire scan.
Compare two paths and spot permission drift immediately. Green = identical, amber = changed, purple = exists only on one side.
Fully self-contained — one file you can email to anyone. Collapsible tree, searchable, expandable permissions panel. No internet required to view.
Raw data out for Excel, ticketing systems, or compliance documentation. Every folder, every ACE, every flag.
Scan local paths or network shares directly. Works on Server 2016, 2019, 2022, Windows 10 and 11, and RDS sessions.
Auto-detects optimal thread count. Manual override available for fine-tuned performance on network shares or slow drives.
Drop the EXE and run. No .NET install required — everything is bundled. Works anywhere you can copy a file.
Audit client file servers fast. One key, any machine. Drop it on the server, scan, export, done.
Document permissions before migrations. Catch broken inheritance before it becomes a support ticket.
Compare permissions across two servers to verify a migration landed correctly. Side-by-side, instant diff.
Produce readable permission reports for compliance reviews without writing a single line of PowerShell.
One purchase. Every machine you ever need to run it on.
