The Comprehensive Permissions analysis shows the permissions that users (including external users) have to selected sites as well as lists (and optionally, list items) within those sites.
If you want to analyze site-level permissions only (with the option of drilling down to list permissions for each user individually), you can run a Site Permissions analysis instead.
NOTE: The Comprehensive Permissions analysis always uses real-time (not cached) data.
To generate a Comprehensive Permissions analysis:
1Select the object(s) on which you want to perform the analysis.
2Choose Users and Security > Comprehensive Permissions
3Specify the parameters for your analysis.
Note that, In addition to the "standard" parameters, you have the option to Group by Sites (the default) or Users.
NOTE: By default, permissions for list items are excluded from the analysis. You can, however, chose to Include List Items. Be aware however, that processing time may increase significantly.
Now you can:
·run the operation immediately (by clicking the [Run Now] button)
OR
·schedule the operation to run at a later time or on a recurring basis.
OR
·save the operation as XML Instructions that can be run at a later time.
Because Comprehensive Permissions analyses are always run on real-time data, if your analysis encompasses multiple users, sites, lists, and/or list items, the analysis may run very slowly and the result set may be very large. Therefore, you may want to consider running it by schedule.
In addition to the same site-level permissions (Site Security) shown in the Site Permissions by Site analysis, the User Rights section also shows the same list-level and optionally, item-level permissions (List Security) shown in the Site Lists Permissions analysis.
