Let me try again. I want to know which users have been granted access to files. I don't care if they have accessed them in the past. I care about whether they can access them now or in the future. Who has access to which data is the question.

I'm not willing to look through all of the individual files. I need a report of some sort that will provide this information.

8 years agoI'm not sure if this helps (as I don't know the exact plan you're on) but have you tried going to your Admin's Console and then on the Activity Tab from the left pane MikeAtInSpeed? More info on how to create an activity report can be found here .
Let me know if this helps!
