Problem
Managing file system permissions can quickly become a complex and error-prone task, especially in environments where inheritance is broken and access control lists (ACLs) are manually maintained. As folder structures evolve and users change roles, IT teams often struggle to keep access aligned with business needs. This leads to excessive permissions, inconsistent access models, and challenges in auditing or proving compliance.
Solution
Resource-Based Group Transformations in Netwrix Access Analyzer help address this by automatically generating security groups tied to specific folders and updating ACLs to reflect these assignments. This creates a more consistent, manageable access model with less manual effort and lower risk of misconfiguration. It also integrates cleanly with access governance workflows for easier review and control.
