Summary

How when using the srs.current_ntfs_aces view can I report on the ACEs without inheritance, within a particular path?

Explanation

The srs.current_ntfs_aces view includes a field called ace_flags which is a value mask.

If the bit flag with a value of 16 is present, then the ACE is inherited. Filtering out inherited ACEs is a simple matter of checking that this flag is off.

Submitted by rlagger on Thu, 01/07/2021 - 11:20

Summary

This report utilizes the new added file content hash feature of version 4.0.  The 4.0 scan policy definition gives a new option to Generate file content hashes for All Files or Files uploaded since the last scan.  This option prompts the AgentFS to generate a SHA256 hash of the file content and store the hash in the database where it can be compared against other files that match in content.

New with version 4.1 is the ability to manage the report paths outside of the query via the Report Designer.
