Sharepoint Access Checker Web Part V1.3.0
There are a lot of great tools at CodePlex. We have not blogged about them all and have no intentions of doing so, but once and again, we use a tool which we would like to give a little more attention. Have you checked this tool? It is great! Doing this work manually would really take a painstakingly long time. A new release of the web part was just released on the 11th September.
Quickly check what objects within a Sharepoint site hierarchy a user has access to.
The Access Checker Web Part is a Windows Sharepoint Services Web Part, for use within Windows Sharepoint Services v3 and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007, that displays a tree view showing permissions on objects for a user scoped to a Site hierarchy. It also has a second mode which will show the permission inheritance of objects within a Site hierarchy.
More specifically, The nodes within the tree are colour coded. If the user's permissions on the content match or exceed the level of access specified, the node is coloured green, red otherwise. Enabling a Site Administrator to determine what access a user has and to which content within a Site.

Unbelievable!!! This is a must have if you are managing a large SP/MOSS deployment with permissions management distributed around to many users. Thanks a lot for making it available. Just one comment - is it possible to allow users (not site owners or admins) to check their own level of permissions ?Anonymous
