Frequently Asked Questions


Why are the access rights of some directories unknown?

During the scanning of the network it is necessary to have sufficient reading rights in the directories that are being scanned. If you do not have access rights to certain directories, it is not possible for Permission Analyzer to scan those directories. Check whether you have sufficient rights or log-in to another account with more rights. The account Administrator has sufficient rights in many networks.



Why don't I get real-time overviews?

The structure of rights in the operating system of Windows is created in a way that allows access rights of a directory to be easily requested. However, it is not possible to ask for access rights per user or per user group. For that, all directories need to be scanned. To save time during the reporting and filtering of the overviews, scanning occurs not for each overview, but the information is stored in a database.
