Refining Discover Permissions Results

The Discover Permission results can be customized using the Filter icon to the right of the column headings.

Column Heading Filtering

Use the Filter icon displayed to the right of each column heading to filter the Discover Permissions results by Scope, User, Permission, or Permissioned Via. When a filter is configured for a column heading then the Remove Filter icon is displayed to the right of the filter icon .

When you click the Filter icon a dialog box opens that allows you to configure one or more filter criteria. By default the Filter Configuration dialog contains three drop down lists for you to configure one filter criteria.

Each filter criteria consists of three input boxes:

1. And/Or box. This drop-down is available only when an additional criteria is added using the icon.
   
   
   1. To add another criteria, click the green plus icon :
      1. Select And to create a filter where the data must match the criteria in all filter criteria.
      2. Select Or to create a filter where the data must match the criteria in only one filter criteria.
   2. Each criteria can be removed from the filter by clicking the remove filter icon .
      
      
2. The Operation box. This drop-down contains operators to use against the results. The following operators available are: Equals, Does not equal, Begins With, Contains, Like, Not Like, Match, Not Match, Is Null, Is not Null.
   
   
   
   
3. The Value box. Select or type the criteria that you want to include. For instance, when you select the Permissions column heading filter, the values listed in the Value drop-down will be the permission levels displayed in the results page. When you select the Permissioned Via column heading filter, the values listed in the Value box are the Users, Active Directory groups, and SharePoint groups that are displayed on the results page.
   
   

*Example: If when filtering on the Permissioned Via column you want to show all results that have users in any Active Directory or SharePoint group with ‘Manager’ in the name, you could select ‘Contains’ from the Operator field and then type ‘Manager’ in the Value field. This would display all users in the report who are members of one or more groups containing the word ‘Manager’.

Once the filter is configured click Save.

To edit an existing filter, click the Filter icon again. To remove a filter, click the Remove Filter icon .
