Title: How to distinguish perm groups of same name in Permissions tab?
Post by: cccschip on 20 Dec 2012 09:26:27 AM
The Permissions tab in the Set Properties dialog (for any object) shows the Name of each Group and Role (and User) that has some permissions on the object.  Our env, unfortunately, has redundant perm group names.  I.e., "GroupA" can be defined in Security in multiple folders.

How can I tell which specific Group (path or CMID) the Named entry on the Permissions tab is referring to?

If you're only dealing with a few instances of this, then you can mouseover the ...> and see the path there (as per attached <screenshot.png>).

If you're dealing with many more instances that make this manual approach unfeasible, then BrightStar Partners Metamanager product has Content Store Documenter, or there's C10 Audit Extensions which may be worth investigating first:
