Sometimes Auditor or Management ask about user permissions for specific files and folders. If the number of files and folders is high enough, then we need some tools for make that process quickly. One of these tools is NTFS PERMISSIONS REPORTER.
I tested this tools and I want to share that with you.
It is easy to use this tool and have main these feature :
