Analyzing Users and Permissions

ControlPoint provides the following tools that allow you to examine permissions of SharePoint users throughout your farm:

·Site Permissions shows the permissions of users for selected sites

·Site List Permissions shows user permissions for individual lists and list items within a site.

An additional analysis, Comprehensive Permissions, show permissions for all sites, lists, and optionally list items within a single result set.

NOTE: In addition to showing user permissions at the individual site level, all Site Permissions analyses include any Web application policy permissions users may have.
