Hello all,

I need to generate a report that shows each user's access to each file and folder in the document library in Sharepoint (O365). Can you please help me? I need it and I need it urgently.

Here is a sample script to generate a report for Library, Folder, Item level permissions, please find it in attachment: 23686-librarypermissionreport.txt

Note that you need to modify the parameters in this section:

Output for the sample:

Reference: SharePoint Online: Get Document Library Permissions and Export to CSV using PnP PowerShell.

Hi!

I have used this script in the past and is exactly what I need Good work on this and easy to understand for someone new to Powershell like me.

I have used this script to generate Site reports for a client previously without any issues, until now. I have another client, which I need to generate the same reports from his tenant. I had to tweak the script a bit, since 2FA is enabled and the way it was coded to sign in, was not working correctly.

Another issue that I'm facing is that near the end of generating the report I'm getting this error:

Error Generating List Permission Report! The cloud operation was not completed before the time-out period expired.

Any help would be really appreciated, as this has been on my mind for the past couple of weeks now!

Thanks in advance!
Brian
