Update: The 2014 version is now available.
I’m currently in an amazingly interesting DB training class. So I decided to do some Vault app programming so that my heart wouldn't explode from all the excitement. The result is Effective Permissions 2013. It’s an update of my Effective Folder Permissions 2.0. The ‘Folder’ part of the name has been dropped since it now does more than just folder permissions. Files and custom objects can also be managed.
Check out the video:
The main new addition is a view/edit window for object permissions. You can now edit an Access Control List and see the effect before you commit the change. It’s also smart enough to determine the source of the ACL and make the appropriate updates.
All the old features are still there. So you can still see the Administrators List, and you still have the Permissions Overview, which shows the user-based permissions for a set of folders.
Requirements:
- Vault 2013 Workgroup / Collaboration / Professional
- Administrative Rights
