Here’s how you can manage permissions with Security Manager

For a SharePoint admin, managing permissions is vital, but it can also become a tiresome task.

It might be very difficult for a SharePoint admin to perform the following actions:

• Check permissions of the employee to which sites/lists/items he has access to.  
• Remove the unwanted permissions for employees. 
• Grant permissions for the employees. 
• Cloning the same permissions to another employee, if new employees came to the same project or team. 

Let us assume if the previous employee has permissions in 4 sites and 10 lists and more than 100 items in different site collection level or in different subsite level, this increases the complexity of managing permissions by admin. Admin should navigate to each site collection/subsite/list/item and need to check those permissions or remove those permissions or grant those permissions to new employees. which very tedious and time-consuming process to perform. 

To check all permissions of the employee in a SharePoint tenant, the admin might perform a close to a 15 step process and the number of steps may go even high with an increase in the number of lists/items/files/sites to manage permissions. 

This is what it takes for a SharePoint Admin to manage Permissions:

1. Go to site collection permissions 
2. Check permissions of the employee and copy the sorted list into an excel 
3. Now go to list and libraries 
4. if it doesn’t have unique permissions go to Step 6 
5. Check permissions on the list/library and add them in a report. 
6. Visit list items/folders/files 
7. if it doesn’t have unique permissions go to Step 9 
8. Check permissions on them and add them in a report. 
9. Visit items/files in the folder 
10. if it doesn’t have unique permissions go to Step 12 
11. Check permissions on them and add them in a report. 
12. Repeat Step 7 & 8 for all folders in the list/library. 
13. Repeat Step 4 to 9. For all the lists/libraries. 
14. Visit subsites on that site collection 
15. Repeat Step 2 to 11 for all the subsites.   

Now you can decide how many steps it will take if you have 50 site collections!

When compared to checking and granting permissions, removing permissions to a user is an easy task. If the user is removed from the Site Collection users list, the user will no longer have access to the subsites/lists/folders/files.
