I'm having trouble finding a way to view a user/group's access rights across an entire repository from the admin console. I would think this would be a feature but my search has proved empty. Does this question make sense? Let's use this scenario, I have a user JSMITH and I want to see which folders within the repository "Document-Server" JSMITH has access to and what kind of rights the user has within each folder, I cannot find a way to do so. The only way is to go into each folder in the client and look at "Access Rights" and see if JSMITH has permission on that folder, but I would have to do that for each folder and subfolder within the repository to see what access he has, which is incredibly inefficient. Does someone know of a way to see all of JSMITH's access as an administrator? Thanks. I'm sure this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it on the site.

There is a Solution Exchange article on access rights reporting.
Report Access Rights for an Entry or Set of Entries
At the bottom of the article is a link to download the utility.
Is there an updated version of this program?
You can use the new user access right report introduced in the 10.2 web client. Simply select the root folder, go to 'run reports', and select 'user access rights report'. You can provide a user and it will recurse down the repository and show you their access.
Thank you Justin, will this feature be added in the Full Client at some point?
Hi Calvin,
The security reports will likely be added to the desktop Client later this year.
I haven't found a way to do this either. It would be nice to be able to see this in the admin console, or a way to search it in the client.
Is there an intention for this to be a feature?
