Benefits |
| Multi-Threaded Architecture |
|
Administrator productivity increases
dramatically with version 5 as long operations now take place in separate
windows, allowing administrators to perform multiple functions simultaneously
and carry on working while those operations continue in the background. |
| Instant Access to Security and
Permissions |
|
No more navigating through files,
folders and registry keys selecting Properties and trying to find the Advanced
button to see a complete security list! Security Explorer's interface allows
for easy navigation of files, folders, registry keys, shares and printers, and
instantly shows both assigned and inherited permissions. |
| Comprehensive Security Management |
|
Security Explorer lists the current
security settings, and allows full granting, revoking and modifying of
permissions on NTFS volumes, the registry, file shares, printers, services and
tasks as well as cloning permissions between accounts for AD and NT4
migrations. |
| Performance-minded Management |
|
Local caching of permissions matched
with the ability to cancel the retrieval of permissions (in the case of large
folder structures, etc) allow more time to manage and less time waiting on
returning results. |
| Local and Enterprise-Wide Access |
|
Centralize management as Security
Explorer manages security on both the local server as well as multiple remote
servers. |
| Outlook-style Look and Feel |
|
Security Explorer now has an updated
look, and a more powerful and flexible interface. |
| Integrated with Windows Explorer |
|
Many Security Explorer functions are
integrated into the right-click menu in Windows Explorer. Additionally, more
Windows Explorer functions are now available within Security Explorer, which
means much less switching between windows! |
| Backup and Restore Permissions |
|
Recovery from accidental changes to
security settings has never been easier! Security Explorer can backup complete
sets of permissions for files and folders, without having to backup the data
they contain. Security Explorer can also capture permissions for registry keys,
shares and printers. Administrators can then select any combination of files,
folders, registry keys, printers and shares to recover those permissions,
without affecting the underlying data or resources. |
| Permission Searches |
|
Find security weaknesses and
over-privileged users as Security Explorer lets administrators search for
specific assignments to all types of user and group, including permissions
received through group memberships and inheritance, or where a user or group
does not have a specific permission. |
| Export Security Settings in Multiple
Formats |
|
Security Explorer can export a
database or spreadsheet listing the permissions on files or folders anywhere in
the directory tree. |
| Administrative Override |
|
No more "Access Denied" when setting
permissions! Security Explorer can instantly modify the security settings of
file and folders that administrators would normally have to change to go
through multiple steps to access. |
| Assign Ownership |
|
Administrators can use Security
Explorer to assign ownership to files and folders without the need for the Take
Ownership right. |
| Command Line Management |
|
Security Explorer has a full command
line interface so you can script and schedule permission management. |
| Better Client Support |
Security Explorer can manage servers
and desktops enterprise-wide from any Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista machine.
|
| FREE "Workstation" mode |
Security Explorer can be installed in
"Workstation" mode on your XP or Vista desktop and manage local security.
