Effective Access report

We would love to see an Effective Access Report feature added to the platform.

Currently, there is no way to see which manual permission edits have been applied and to which objects they have been applied. Finding out a user's actual permissions is a big puzzle because permissions can come from everywhere: inherited folders, user groups, and those specific manual overrides. When we do a security audit we currently have to manually check every single object.

Hi @mpjrijk,

In Devolutions Server, we have the Entry permissions report that list all permissions on all entries relative to each user and the source of each of these permission. If I understand your request properly, it would be to have this report but in Devolutions Cloud, correct?

Cheers,

Hi Luc,

I am indeed referring to the Devolutions Cloud solution. Apologies for not clarifying that earlier.

We need a report that displays all entry permissions that were applied manually, rather than inherited through group-based access.
Right now, we need to find these manually, I believe. If only a small amount of entries have custom permissions for specific users, locating them is quite difficult.
We would like to see a report that gives us insight into where these custom permissions exist and what specific level (Custom, Reader, Privileged Reader, Operator, etc.) has been assigned.

I think this is different from the Entry Permissions in Devolutions server, but I'm currently not able to answer that correctly since I'm not using the DVLS solution.

Cheers!

No worries at all, we're in the Cloud forum so I knew it was Cloud, I just wanted to confirm if what was in DVLS could suit your needs.

As for the inherited vs direct portion, there is a filter to only see direct assignment in the Entry permissions report in DVLS, if we were to do the same thing in Cloud, would that work?

Cheers,

Luc Fauvel
