Permissions reporting

Question / Problem

Is TreeSize able to show file permissions, and not just ownership?

Answer / Solution

Yes. This web page provides an overview on the permissions reporting capabilities of TreeSize.

Right clicking on the header of the Details list will show a popup menu that allows to choose additional columns showing the permissions.
 
If you export a scan to Excel, these columns will be included as well. (To get a full report in Excel, you need to check-mark the option "Tools > Options > Export > Excel > Export the full directory branch" and optionally "Include single files in export"). Excel Auto-Filter is a good tool to filter the exported lists for specific users or groups, or to find folders or files where inherited permissions are mssing or own permissions are added.

Our advanced disk space and file manager SpaceObServer has better reporting capabilities for permissions.
