Viewing groups and accounts with access permissions for governed resources
The Access page for a governed resource displays all Active Directory groups and accounts that have at least one of the five access permissions to the resource:
- AllowChangePermissions: This is checked when "Change Permissions" access control is allowed.
- AllowFullControl: This is checked when "Full Control" access control is allowed.
- AllowRead: This is checked when any type of read permission (such as, Read Permissions, Read Attributes, List Folder/Read Data) is allowed.
- AllowWrite: This is checked when any type of write permission (such as, Create Files/Write Data, Write Attributes, Write Extended Attributes) is allowed.
- AnyAllow: This is checked when any "Allow" permissions are specified.
Note: Access control entries on governed resources, as displayed in the web portal by a business owner, may not always appear as expected. For example, the access right "List Folder Contents" will show as "AllowRead" and "AnyAllow" in the web portal. This is because the List Folder Contents right enables the "allow" read permissions.
In addition, if the assigned permissions are not correct, you can submit a request to remove an access permission or modify the access permissions for a resource. For more information, see Changing access permissions for a governed resource.
To view the groups and accounts with access permissions for a governed resource
- From the menu bar, select Responsibilities | My Responsibilities.

- Open the All my resources tab and select the resource.
- Click the Access tab.

The Active Directory accounts that are directly on the security descriptor for the resource appear. The access permissions assigned to each account or group is also displayed.
(Optional) Select the Include accounts of type "Alias" and "Wellknown" check box to include those accounts in the access permissions grid.
