NetVision Solves Windows Access Rights Challenges

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 22, 2009 -
NetVision (www.netvision.com), today announced the availability of Access Rights Inspector, a tool that calculates effective permissions for user accounts and groups across Microsoft Windows Server environments.  Access Rights Inspector’s built-in intelligence enables reduced audit costs, eliminated time and effort, and substantially improved audit information.

Answering security audit questions typically requires manually checking each file and folder across entire servers.  Complicating matters is that Windows leverages nested groups for applying permissions and rights can be inherited from parent folders.  It is often impossible to get a clear understanding of which permissions are in effect.

NetVision’s Access Rights Inspector [http://www.netvision.com/rightsinspector.php] eliminates the complexities of auditing Windows access rights.  Understanding a particular user account’s permissions across multiple servers or all users’ permissions for a particular file or folder is accomplished with just a few mouse clicks.  The result is saved time, reduced cost, and accurate information.

Its flexible interface enables users to select custom sets of accounts, groups, and resources on which to report.  It also enables browsing to quickly understand permissions at each level of the folder tree.  Options are available for viewing explicit rights, effective rights, denied permissions, direct user permission assignments, and more.

NetVision's CEO, David Rowe, explains “Historically, we’ve had a lot of success in making life easier for administrators and security auditors.  Access Rights Inspector gives us yet another mechanism to provide cost and effort efficiencies.”

Access Rights Inspector is delivered in a pre-validated configuration on the NetVision server appliance with full life-cycle managed service.  An Access Rights Inspector license will cost $12 per account. Volume discounts are available.
