Don’t just take our word for it
Track permission changes, not just permission states
The Effective Permissions Reporting Tool tells you who has access right now. It doesn't tell you who changed that access, when, or why. If a permission was widened last month and nobody noticed, this tool won't catch it. Something else needs to.
Netwrix Auditor for Windows File Servers records before-and-after values for file and folder access, changes, and permissions across your file servers.
