Overview

Access Reports let you keep track of who has access to what and help you ensure that things are shared with the right people/groups. Use Access Reports to see

• Who a Folder/Project is shared with (and who has access to any descendant items).
• What a person or Group has access to.
• If Folders/Projects are shared with someone other than those who it should be shared with.

Important Information

• An admin or group admin must have access to a Folder/Project for it to be visible to them on Access Reports.

Access Reports are now available to admins and group admins in the Account Management section of the Workspace.

• A Folder or Project listed in the report results: click the  icon to the right of a Folder or Project’s title in the “Folder name” column.
• A descendant Task, Subfolder, or Subproject: click on a cell in the “Tasks or Subfolders shared with” column,  select a user or group from the dropdown, and click the title of the item you want to unshare from a user or User Group.

The Task View or a Folder or Project info panel opens in a separate tab. From there you can view and edit with whom the item is shared.
