NOTE: Users who are not local administrators can start Security Explorer, but the functionality is limited to actions that do not require local administrator rights.

The first time you open Security Explorer®, the Browse tab opens to display three panes. The Navigation pane on the left contains the tree from which you can drill down to objects on your system and the Security Explorer modules available to you. The Objects and Permissions panes are used to further drill down to view the permissions of objects.

Using the Navigation pane

The Navigation pane on the left contains the tree for the selected module. You can browse the tree and select an object. You can select objects from the local computer, or browse the Network Neighborhood or Active Directory®. You can also group objects into Favorites or Enterprise Scopes. See Managing Favorites and Managing Enterprise Scopes.

NOTE: NTFS Security only. If you select a network share for which you have no rights to read any resource in that network share, you are presented with a dialog to enter custom credentials. You can save the custom credentials to Windows® Credentials. If you do not save the custom credentials, Security Explorer® uses them until you log off.

The Navigation pane has five tabs.
