Q

I need to see the effective access for basically all the users and databases on a server. How can I do that?

A

aclEZ's extended effective access calculator will let you do exactly that, quickly and easily. Here's how to do it!

Before you begin:


This process assumes that you have already opened a server with aclEZ. See this simple tutorial to learn how to open a server in aclEZ..
For this particular example you'll see how to check an entire server. Make sure the entire server is loaded.

Calculating effective access across an entire server

Keep in mind that each row in aclEZ's main grid corresponds to an ACL entry for a database. Be sure that what you select actually fulfills the scope that you want for your calculation.

Step 4 Click 'Add>' to add new names.
Step 5 You can sort the added names list, remove a selection of names, or remove all names.
Step 6 Once the list of added names is complete, click 'OK'

By default, columns that show individual permissions are positioned to the right.

Organizing effective access data

Image of aclEZ's ......As with any flexYgrid-enabled panel, you can categorize the displayed the data by any combination of datapoints.
As a suggestion, try this:
Step 1 Categorize by 'Database File.'
Step 2 Categorize by 'Effective Access.'
Step 3 Collapse all categories.
Step 4 Expand the databases of your choice.
What you'll see is a list of all list of databases, and within that the different access levels to that database, along with who has that access level.
Feel free to experiment by categorizing your data different ways.
