Detailed permissions

Detailed Permissions is a SharePoint list extension that helps users understand permissions directly from document libraries and folders.

The extension adds a dedicated action to SharePoint libraries, giving users a clearer and more detailed view of who can access selected items. It helps administrators, site owners, and support teams quickly inspect permissions without manually navigating through multiple SharePoint settings pages.

With Detailed Permissions, you can:

• View direct permissions assigned to users and SharePoint groups.
• Expand SharePoint groups and Microsoft Entra ID groups to identify who effectively has access.
• Check the effective permissions of a specific user or Entra ID group.
• Understand why a user has access by reviewing their group membership path.
• Visualize permission inheritance from parent libraries and folders to child items.
• Identify items with unique permissions or inherited permissions.
• Review sharing links that apply to the selected item, including their scope, permission level, and expiration date.
• Display site administrators when the current user has sufficient permissions.

This extension is designed to simplify SharePoint permission analysis and help users troubleshoot access questions faster, especially in environments with nested groups, broken inheritance, or complex document library structures.

A free 15-day trial is included when installing the extension. After the trial period, a license is required to continue using the product.
