Scope an Effective Access Report

Once an Effective Access report’s loading process has stopped, either by completing the analysis of the targeted environments or via the Cancel button, follow the steps to change the scoping settings.

Step 1 – Click Scope at the top of the report in the Results pane. The Scope Configuration window opens.

Step 2 – There are three scoping options that can be applied individually or in any combination:

• Scope report to the following hosts – Limits the report to selected hosts

  • Select the checkbox to apply this scoping option
  • Select a host from the list in the left box. It is possible to select multiple hosts with basic Windows commands (Ctrl-left-click).
  • Click Add
  • Use Remove to edit the selection box on the right

• Exclude resources with open access – Limits the report to exclude access granted through high-risk trustee (for example, Everyone, Authenticated Users, and Domain Users)

  • Select the checkbox to exclude these high-risk trustees from the effective access calculations

• Include nested resources – Broadens the report to include nested resources according to the depth level set

  • Select the checkbox to include nested resources
  • Move the slider to select the desired nested depth level

Step 3 – When the scoping options have been set as desired, click OK.

The Effective Access report begins the loading process based on the new scoping parameters.
