The Permissions Browser lets the users to quickly search and find which users and groups have access to which folders. They can also see what permission level they have and who granted the permissions. Egnyte makes it easy to see who has access to the sensitive data.
By Folders Tab
By Folders tab allows the user to see the effective permissions for a folder. Navigate to a folder of interest using the tree in the left pane. The list of all users with access to the folder will appear in the right pane. Each user and group's effective permission for the folder is shown. How each user derives their permission is also shown in the Granted column. This will either be by membership in a group or via direct permission assignment for the user.
For each folder, the user will also see a count of the number of users with access, along with a count of the number of access control issues for the folder. If a folder contains sensitive content, a red S will show against the folder name in the tree on the left.
In order to view the type of sensitive content found within the folder, click on the Sensitive Content link found in the header section
By Users & Groups Tab
