Discovering Permissions

Discover Permissions allows the user to find out who has access to a given object and how that access is given.

*Users can only use the DeliverPoint Discover Permissions action if they have the SPBasePermission Enumerate permission, that is, only users who have access to view permissions in SharePoint can access this DeliverPoint action. For example, users who are mapped to a permission level that includes the Manage Permissions right, such as, Full Control, will be able to use this action.

There are three forms of the Discover Permissions DeliverPoint action:

• Discover Site Permissions
• Discover List Permissions
• Discover Folder/Item/File Permissions

All three forms of this DeliverPoint action uses the Discover Permissions with DeliverPoint results page, which you can use to filter the results. The Discover Permissions with DeliverPoint results page and how to filter the results are explained in the next sections.
