Find folders with non-inherited permissions.

asked on April 3, 2023

The latest post I could find on this was from 2016, just wondering if there is a easy way to do this now.  I'm just looking for a report that tells me which folders have non-inherited permissions. 

Thanks, John

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a quick and easy way to identify the items with inheritance turned off.

There is a lot of discussion on this post (https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/205849/Administrator-override-to-delete-a-folder-in-Laserfiche-even-if-you-do-not-have-rights-to-all-child-objects#repliestomain) about access rights and how to identify them.  The advanced search syntax (https://support.laserfiche.com/resources/3920/advanced-search-syntax-10-3) includes a function called LFACE that can search roles and permissions, but doesn't appear to have a way to search specifically for non-inherited flags.

The accepted solution on that other post is a reply to another cooment that talks about downloading the effective access rights report.  Something like that may work for your needs.

Another reply that I posted has a database query that can help identify records where permissions are specifically set or have inheritenace turned off.  You then have to take that list of entry IDs from the query and search those in the repository, but it's a start.

Neither of those are super easy and straighforward solutions, but they can get you what you need with some work.
