Template and Field Security Report

Version 9 Security

Updated May 22, 2019

asked on August 28, 2014

I am trying to find a report that can be ran for our Security Administrators and Auditors that list all folder, template, and field security. I downloaded and ran the AccessRightsReport82 project references LFSO82 report. This works fine for folder level security report. Is there a report that can be ran against the repository to list security for all templates and fields. If not, is the security schema available that we could write our own reports.

I'll forward this feature request on to the proper people. At the moment, the easiest way to generate a custom security report may be to write a script.

A conference course from 2013 included a utility that will generate security reports for folders, fields, documents, templates, and volumes called "LFAccessCheck". It can be found on our Support Site. It's a command line utility, and the syntax looks like this:

LFAccessCheck.exe -s servername -r repository -t entries -target ADMIN -path \folder

The example above looks for security on all entries for the ADMIN user at \folder. If you replace "entries" with "fields" or "templates", it will adjust accordingly. The source code is included, so if you need it to do something different, you can modify what's there. Note that it uses RepositoryAccess from the SDK; you'll need to have it installed (either the SDK or the runtime package included with the SDK) to run the utility.

Thanks Zachary, we had previously ran that utility. It is as you say a command line utility and just shows the results. To be honest, it provided minimal value. We are looking for a formal report. I believe it would be beneficial for all if Laserfiche addressed this particular issue and provided us with the ability to generate formal reports.

A reporting tool on laserfiche security functions would server the LF users very well.

At the moment creating a security report for system auditors is task that is slow and painful.

I also have this question.

Formal reports regarding access and security would be extremely useful features. As far as i know, they do not exist.

The AccessRightsReport82 project needs an option to only look at folders so the process is much faster.

Was there ever a Security Reporting Tool created, other than Audit Trail

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

To the general question of entry access security, as well as individual user security setups, the Windows and web clients added reports for those a few versions back which you can access under the 'generate reports' item (more options in the web client and I believe tasks menu in the Windows client). There isn't a built-in tool on field security though.
