NTFS Permissions Tools 1.3

NTFS Permissions Tools is a Windows utility for viewing, auditing, and managing file and folder permissions on NTFS volumes. It consolidates ownership, inheritance, and access control entries (ACEs) into a clear, at-a-glance view and enables precise, consistent changes across single paths or entire directory trees. Use it to troubleshoot access-denied issues, standardize security, and produce documentation for audits and compliance.

Key capabilities:

• Visual permission explorer that highlights explicit vs. inherited entries, shows owners and inheritance state, and checks effective access for selected users or groups.
• Bulk edits to add, remove, or replace permissions across subfolders and files, with filters; copy or clone permissions from one location to another; apply reusable permission templates.
• Ownership and inheritance control to take ownership, break or restore inheritance, and convert inherited ACEs to explicit entries.
• Reporting and audit features to export permission reports (e.g., CSV/HTML) with owners, rights, and inheritance details; detect orphaned SIDs or inconsistent entries; and compare permissions between locations.
• Safety features including previews, change logs, and ACL backup/restore to help you roll back unintended changes.
• Efficient scanning designed to handle large directory trees and resolve users and groups from the local machine or Active Directory.

Ideal for system administrators, help desk teams, and auditors who need to understand and control access at scale. Administrative privileges are required to modify permissions. Apply changes with care, as incorrect settings can affect user access.
