See who has access — without another PowerShell script
The answer is spread across inherited permissions, broken inheritance, SharePoint groups, Microsoft 365 groups, direct access and sharing links. SPO Scout brings that evidence together in the browser.
See who has access
Report on a whole site, down to every folder and file with unique permissions. SharePoint groups are expanded to the people inside them (Pro), plus a per-user lookup for "what can this person reach?".
Find the exceptions
Objects whose inheritance has been broken are flagged, so unique permissions surface as a list. A separate scan finds sharing links, including "Anyone with the link" (Pro).
Export the evidence
CSV for spreadsheets, PDF for the audit file, JSON if something else consumes it. (Pro)
Real workflows, used in real SharePoint engagements
These outcomes come from client engagements delivered by SPO Scout's founder, using the workflows the extension is built around.
8,000+ links reviewed
Sharing cleanup
"Anyone with the link" shares had accumulated unchecked at a financial services client. Discovery and bulk removal took about two hours, ahead of the audit deadline — avoiding an estimated $50,000 in potential regulatory exposure.

Migration permission cleanup
A migration left unique permissions scattered across the destination library. Analysis and a bulk reset to inherited restored it in roughly three hours.
The migration cleanup write-up →Based on real client engagements performed by the founder. Client names and identifying details are anonymized for confidentiality. Time and volume figures are measured; dollar figures are the client's own estimates of avoided cost, not audited amounts.
