Unique Lists Detection

‘Discover Lists with unique permissions’.

The Unique Lists Detection action displays all lists within the selected scope that have unique permissions (not inherited from owner site). Allowed scope nodes are – Farm, Web Application and Site Collections. By default permission inheritance cascades down from the top-level site in a site collection to sub sites, lists, libraries, list items and files. This action is useful in identifying where permission inheritance was stopped and different permissions assigned to lists and libraries. See the whitepaper, Best practices for using fine-grained permissions.

To use the Unique Lists DeliverPoint action, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the DeliverPoint dashboard, on the View Ribbon tab, click either the Farm Centric or Account Centric.
   
   
2. In the tree view, select those nodes, also known as SharePoint objects, to be included in the scope, for example, one or more site collections. This command can be completed on the farm , Web Application , Managed Path or site collections .
   
   
3. On the Commands Ribbon tab, click Unique Lists in the Site Management group.
   
   
   
   The Operation: Lists with Unique Permissions page is displayed in the dashboard results pane. The nodes included in the scope are displayed to the right of the page title.
   
   
   
   All links on the report open new browser windows or tabs. The links for the Site Collection and Site open the home pages for the site. The links for the list, open the default view for the list.
   
   
4. To export the report, on the Report Ribbon tab, click Export to Spreadsheet in the Actions group. The Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet file name is of the format, Unique_Lists_yyyymmdd.xls.
