Account Permissions - View or audit account and permission-related information


Description:
Account Permissions is a tool that will display permissions for any local or domain user account on a computer. It will also display key details linked to that account, without requiring any prior knowledge of the account name or properties.

How to use:
1. Select the type of account you want to look up permissions for (local or domain).

2. Click Get Accounts to view the account permissions and related details.

3. Optional. Export the results to a text or CSV file for reporting or further analysis.

What You Can Do With This Program

Potential Uses for Account Permissions:

• Reviewing User Access on a PC:
  
  • You can quickly see which local or domain accounts exist on a workstation and what key permissions or group memberships they have, without needing to remember or look up exact account names.
  
  
  
  
• Auditing Local Administrator Rights:
  
  • When troubleshooting or hardening a machine, this tool helps identify which accounts have elevated or admin-like permissions so you can reduce unnecessary access and improve security.
  
  
  
  
• Pre-Deployment Security Checks:
  
  • Before handing over a new or rebuilt computer, you can run Account Permissions to verify that only the correct user and support accounts exist and that there are no unexpected or leftover profiles.
  
  
  
  
• User Account Discovery in Large Environments:
  
  • In environments with many domain users, you can use the tool to quickly list and inspect account details on a given machine, even if they do not know the exact username or how it was originally created.
  
  
  
  
• Documenting Access for Audits or Handover:
  
  • By exporting the results to text or CSV, you can attach a snapshot of local accounts and permissions to tickets, build documentation for audits, or include it in system handover notes.
  
  
  
  
• Supporting Incident Response Investigations:
  
  • When investigating suspicious activity on a PC, Account Permissions can help quickly reveal unexpected accounts or elevated permissions that may have been created or misused.
  
  
  
  
• Standardising Permissions Across Machines:
  
  • You can use the tool on multiple computers to compare which accounts and permission levels are present, helping to spot inconsistencies and bring systems back in line with standard build or security policies.
