2.1 Understanding Table Relationships

2.1.1 Windows File System Metadata

The collected scan data is generally broken down into three major areas: Identity System info, File System data, and Permissions data.

For general file system metadata collection, only file system data is collected, along with minimal identity system data pertaining to file and folder owners.

2.1.2 Windows File System Permissions

NTFS Permissions data is limited to folder structure as well as assigned and inherited NTFS access control entries (ACEs).

It should be noted that permissions scans do not include metadata specific information such as directory quota, nor do they include any file-entry data that is not a folder. Only permissions for folder, share, and DFS entries are currently collected.
