Viewing Activities

After performing the crawler task, the Activities tab displays all of the aggregated data. Here you are able to view the most and least frequent users, resources, activity types, and can perform various actions. It provides a high-level overview of activity trends and common usages, as well as the most common actions taken on certain resource hierarchies.

Resource Tree

When a resource has been selected from the Resource Tree to the left, all information within that resource will display.

A user can search for a resource, like a folder, share, site, or Personal Drive, in the search bar.

You can view the information by selecting the Users, Resources, or Actions tabs.

  • Users – displays users that have performed actions
  • Resources – contained resources within this resource
  • Actions – action performed within this resource

Note

You can display the content by either Most Frequent usage or Least Frequent usage.

Viewing the Permission Path

This function allows the user to view how someone has access to certain resources.

To view a permission path, select the user name.

The colored legend at the top will provide additional context as to the frequency of usage on that particular permission. Namely, how long it has been since the user has used the permission or had access granted to it.

This colored legend helps identify stale and unused permissions that can be removed to reduce risk associated with unnecessary exposure and over-permissive and unused access.

The branches leading from the user to the resource will display in a color which corresponds to the legend.

Each branch represents an access path through which a user is granted access to the resource. That path can represent a direct permission, access granted through a group, or a nested group membership. Groups can be expanded to show the members and sub-groups nested under them.

Filter Parameters
