Compare two different access rights situations using scan comparison

Scan comparison identifies the states of two authorization situations in Active Directory and file servers. This process allows you to compare both situations to determine how the authorization situation has changed.

This comparison refers exclusively to two measurement points. Use the Logga reports to analyze all changes of a period. Use the permission differences to forward comparison results to other authorized users.
