Searching

Have you ever wondered just which files and directories on your network the group Everyone can delete permissions on? Finding information like this is a snap with Security Explorer®. Simply choose a group or user, and a set of permissions to search for, and begin your search. When the search results display, you can click on any files or directories in your search results to modify their permissions immediately.
