Here is how you can use us Documentation Toolkit to help you document SharePoint farm topology and ease you administration efforts:
- Install and configure Documentation Toolkit for SharePoint

Use case – Managing permissions and audit reports
Customer writes:
The Office of the Lord Commander has requested an account termination. Please remove Jon Snow (JS030329) from all the SharePoint sites effective 2:30pm this afternoon. Also, for security purposes, please provide an audit report of the sites and permissions removed.
Yup, people leave companies, are fired, or change positions, so SharePoint admins need to manage these things. Here is how our tool helps you with these tasks:
- Use the advanced load to load SharePoint farm configuration and all the permissions given
- Use the Permission Explorer to explore permissions by Web Applications or Site Collections or
- Open the User Permissions report to check all permissions for an individual user. Reports can easily be exported to Excel or PDF for other departments.
