SharePoint 2010 offers permissions to manage its resources using different permission levels. It provides more granular control on permissions starting from the entire farm to item level security, as continued from SharePoint 2007. The permissions can be defined for users and groups using the default permission levels available out-of-the-box or you can define custom permission levels. The permissions for users and groups can be assigned from Active Directory repository or external stores like SQL or other custom authentication providers. 
 
Depending on the object level in the SharePoint hierarchy, permissions can be assigned by using the default SharePoint classifications like Farm Administrators, Site Collection Administrators, Site Owners, Site Members, Site Visitors, etc., which have pre-defined permissions configured in them. SharePoint administrators can also manage SharePoint security by creating custom permission levels, apart from using the SharePoint defaults. 
 

With the Permissions Management in SharePoint 2010 more flexible, SharePoint administrators / owners / users can modify permissions of SharePoint objects at ease. Proper documentation of the existing permissions setting and any change to permissions facilitates effective permission management and is necessary for post-migration of SharePoint contents.
 

Our product Admin Report Kit for SharePoint 2010 (ARKSP) ably assists in generating permissions reports for various SharePoint objects for documentation or monitoring SharePoint security or internal & external audit purposes.

Information Technology Audits have been made mandatory as it is now requisite for many organizations to keep track of users’ access to critical information assets. IT audit systems and procedures must broadly address the following requirements or objectives:

• maintain data integrity
• safeguard information assets
• allow organizational goals or objectives to be achieved effectively
• use resources efficiently

Audit logs detailing events and changes to information have to be maintained as a part of organizations’ compliance needs. Increased vulnerability to security threats has also made companies to record events and manipulations to information assets to maintain data integrity and also withstand external threats.

Imagine auditing a SharePoint environment which hosts huge voluminous business critical information in SharePoint sites and lists with numerous users making changes to them constantly. Keeping track of this information trail is an uphill task and following are some of the challenges a SharePoint administrator would confront in auditing a SharePoint infrastructure:

Admin Report Kit for SharePoint (ARKSP) through its in-depth audit reports makes it easy

Page Visits Report - An Example

Let us take an example where the SharePoint administrator intends to generate a report on visits made corresponding to a page within a site and individual list items within a list. Let’s see how ARKSP makes it easy for the administrators.

Screenshot of Audit-Page Visits report:

The above screenshot shows the Audit-Page Visits report (Quick Reports à Site à Audit-Page Visits) corresponding to the specified site. The report displays information about the Pages visited by the specified users in the last 30 days.

The same report to show information from an users’ perspective i.e., who has accessed what over the last 30 days by grouping this data using the ‘Performed By’ field.

Screenshot of Audit-Page Visits-Grouped By-’Performed By’:

The above screenshot shows the Page Visits made by the user “SHAREPOINT\system”. The page visits information is reported from a users’ perspective.

Let’s see how ARKSP enumerates the individual list items visited by users in the last 7 days.

Screenshot of Audit-Visited Items report:

The above screenshot shows the Audit-Visited Items report (Quick Reports à List à Audit-Visited Items) corresponding to the List. The report enumerates the users who visited the List items in the last 7 days.

The same report can be customized to display the above information according to date, meaning the visits can be reported date-wise based on the time stamp of the visit.

Screenshot Of Audit-Visited Items-Group By-Occurred:

The above report displays the Visited Items and their corresponding information based on the occurrence i.e., date and time of the visit. ARKSP with its multi-dimensional reporting allows users to generate meaningful reports across various perspectives and provides valuable insights to administrative users.

ARKSP with its insightful and customizable reports reduces the SharePoint administrators’ overhead in auditing the SharePoint infrastructure.
