Hi,

Is there a tool to view the effective permissions for a user or group
like in advanced security settings?

Xcacls?

Thx

Not that I know of. Xcacls.vbs does a pretty good job of displaying
permissions however. It is important to manage users and groups carefully to
be able to track permissions. There are tools that can help enumerate a
users group membership for a domain such as dsget and dsquery. There are
also some limitations of the GUI effective permissions as shown in the link
below. --- Steve

The calculation does not take these Security Identifiers into account: the
Anonymous Logon, Authenticated Users, Batch, Creator Group, Creator Owner,
Dialup, Enterprise Domain Controllers, Interactive, Network, Proxy,
Restricted, Self, Service, System, and Terminal Server User. An example
would be if a user were to access a file remotely.

You can have a look at the tool Permission Analyzer. The tool enumerates all
the access rights for a particular user or user group. It will also check
the permissions of all related/nested groups of the selected user or user
group.

There are no graphical free tools. But you can have a look at the tool
DumpSec. It is free, but dumps the list of information in one big list and
it does not included the access rights of nested groups, for as far as I
know.
But you can give it a try: http://www.somarsoft.com
