Table View

The Table View presents permission data in a spreadsheet-like grid format, making it easy to sort, filter, and analyze permissions across your Active Directory environment.

Accessing Table View

To access the Table View:

1. Generate a report or load an existing one
2. Click on the "Table View" tab in the report viewer

Note: When you first switch to the Table View tab, there may be a brief delay as the application generates the table data.

Understanding the Table View

The Table View presents each permission assignment as a separate row in the grid, with these columns:

Object Properties

• Object Name - The name of the AD object
• Object Type - The type of object (User, Group, Computer, etc.)
• Distinguished Name - The full distinguished name of the object

Principal Properties

• Principal - The name of the security principal (user/group) with permission
• Principal Type - The type of principal (User, Group, Computer, etc.)
• Disabled - Whether the account is disabled
• Is Group Member - Whether this permission is through group membership
• Parent Group - If through group membership, the name of the parent group

Permission Properties

• Allow/Deny - Whether the permission is Allow or Deny
• Permissions - The specific permissions granted or denied
• Inherited - Whether the permission is inherited from a parent object
• Apply To - Where the permission applies (this object only, child objects, etc.)

Metadata

• Created Date - When the object was created
• Modified Date - When the object was last modified

Filtering the Table View

The Table View provides powerful filtering capabilities:

Quick Filter Dropdown

Use the "Filter" dropdown to quickly filter by common scenarios:

• All Items - Show all permission entries
• Direct Permissions Only - Show only permissions assigned directly (not through groups or inheritance)
• Group Member Permissions Only - Show only permissions assigned through group membership
• Inherited Permissions Only - Show only permissions inherited from parent objects
• Explicit Permissions Only - Show only permissions explicitly set on objects (not inherited)

Search Box

Use the "Search" text box to find specific text in any column. This is useful for:

• Finding permissions for a specific user
• Locating specific permission types
• Focusing on a particular OU or container

Column Filters

Each column has its own filter capability:

1. Click the filter icon in any column header
2. Choose from the provided filter options or enter a custom filter
3. The table will update to show only matching rows

Sorting the Table View

To sort the data:

1. Click any column header to sort by that column
2. Click again to toggle between ascending and descending order
3. Hold Shift while clicking to sort by multiple columns

Grouping Data

The Table View supports grouping for more complex analysis:

1. Drag any column header to the "Drag a column header here to group by that column" area
2. The data will be grouped according to the values in that column
3. You can add multiple grouping levels by dragging additional column headers
4. Expand or collapse groups as needed

Resizing and Reordering Columns

Customize the Table View layout:

• Drag column headers to reorder them
• Drag the dividers between column headers to resize columns
• Double-click the divider to auto-size a column to fit its contents

Exporting Data

Export the Table View data for external analysis:

1. Use the "Export" buttons at the top of the view
2. Choose from Excel, PDF, or HTML formats
3. The export will include all currently visible data (respecting any active filters)
