Unique SharePoint Permissions Management Tool re-Launches

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- A leading SharePoint solutions specialist, http://www.lightningtools.com, has released a new version of its SharePoint permissions management tool. The software allows large organisations, such as businesses and universities, to manage permissions more effectively than the process currently has in place, making the procedure quicker and easier.

DeliverPoint, software created by http://www.lightningtools.com, uses a unique permissions management tool; it is currently available on SharePoint 2007 and 2010.

Although there are other permission management tools available on the market, DeliverPoint is currently the only fully integrated SharePoint permissions tool that is directly aimed at Site Administrators (non Farm Administrators), allowing them to manage accounts without having to contact specific technicians, which can be inconvenient and timely.  

Unlike with other software, DeliverPoint users have no need to install window applications or maintain separate web applications for permission reporting.  Unlike other applications that can cost in excess of $20,000, DeliverPoint can be purchased for SharePoint 2007 and 2010 for $1,500 per web front end.

The software provides users with accurate permission reporting on each object and list item. The software from http://www.lightningtools.com, DeliverPoint, is designed to work with very large SharePoint implementations and can be configured to include or exclude domains and forests.

Furthermore, the DeliverPoint software allows users to simply remove ‘dead accounts’ rather than searching on a regular basis for accounts that may no longer be active. As well as this, DeliverPoint software has enabled users to be able clone and transfer SharePoint permission in a much quicker and efficient way, saving the user an endless amount of time.

Brett Lonsdale, Director of http://www.lightningtools.com, had the following to say about the launch,

“We are really excited about the new release of DeliverPoint. Although we are aware of other permission management tools available on SharePoint 2007 and 2010, no others have the ability to create a permission report for the Farm to the List Item; something we are all proud of here at Lightning Tools and feel will aid the success of the product.”

He continued,  

“All SharePoint 2010 users will know that many improvements were made in this area, allowing for permissions to be checked at site, list and item level. Although this addition is extremely useful for site collection owners, it can still be a very timely process. This is when our new software proves to be very useful.  DeliverPoint 2010 allows users to report exactly what permissions a user or domain group may have anywhere within the farm, even down to the list item.”
