Security Explorer® for SharePoint - Frequently
Asked Questions
-
 Can't I perform these same tasks with the SharePoint admin console?
-
Security Explorer provides added functionality that is not available with native tools such as searching of permissions and backup and restore of permissions. Even other tasks like changing permission levels and SharePoint group management are only one click away making Security Explorer an efficient solution for SharePoint security management.
-
What versions of SharePoint does Security Explorer support?
- Windows SharePoint Services v3 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
-
Does Security Explorer for SharePoint create reports?
-
Security Explorer for SharePoint can export a complete list of permissions, but does not offer a wide range of formats, analysis or ability to filter and select what to report on. If you are looking for a true security reporting solution, take a look at Enterprise Security Reporter.
-
How does the permissions backup and restore function work?
-
Security Explorer for SharePoint's backup functionality copies all permissions relating to sites, sub-sites, lists, libraries, and even documents into a flat file anywhere you choose. This is a fast operation since it does not backup the data, but only the permissions information. Restoring permissions is as simple as selecting a backup file, navigating down to where you want to repair permissions and restoring them to how they were at the time of the backup.
-
Does Security Explorer help with Compliance?
- Yes. Security Explorer gives administrators the ability to implement the security required by compliance standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA and ITIL.
