Exploring Access Data

Access Explorer scans managed computers on managed domains and collects security access information on files, folders, and shares. The data is stored in the Access Explorer database.

Managed domains and computers are configured in the Configuration Manager. If the domain or computer you need to monitor is not available in the Report Manager, contact your Enterprise Reporter administrator.

When you drill-down on an account, the data is pulled from the Access Explorer database so you can quickly drill-down from accounts to computers to permissioned accounts to resources. At the resource level, the explicit permissions are displayed. You can choose to view the full access control list (ACL) for selected resources, but be aware that the process may take some time. For more information, see Viewing Permissions.
