In this video, we learn how to navigate your way around DeliverPoint. We’ll point out the SharePoint permissions reports available within a site, as well as centralised permissions reports.
Contextual Permission Reporting
Contextual Permissions Reporting can be performed from within a SharePoint Site, List or across single or multiple files & folders. If you are a Site Owner, you’ll be able to access some of the many permissions reports using the DeliverPoint menu icon in the top right hand corner of your site. The icon will only display for users with Full Control to the site. List or Library permission reports can be accessed from the Command Bar, and Folder/Item permission reports can be accessed using the elipses on each item.
