Improved IT Productivity and Reduced Administration Costs

SharePoint Administrator allows instant discovery of new sites, control of access permissions at every level, and completely centralizes management and application control. It helps organizations reduce the costs associated with deployment and management of complex SharePoint infrastructure, regardless of number of servers or farms.

Simplified and Unified Management Across Entire Organization

Administrators can easily identify Microsoft SharePoint assets dispersed across the enterprise using a rule-based search, and propagate configuration and security permissions to web applications, sites, folders, and lists in bulk, resulting in quicker time-to-value of each update. Objects selected using tree or search modes can be saved for quick access in the future.

Reduced Security, Compliance, and Performance Risks

SharePoint Administrator simplifies user security management, usage and storage monitoring, and global policy control. It facilitates the deployment of policies that are otherwise difficult and time-consuming to implement. SharePoint Administrator delivers granular, precise control over security permissions - down to the item-level - across entire Microsoft SharePoint deployments.

Ability to define site level business criticality provides interoperability with DocAve Backup and Recovery. Manage and update (edit, clone, transfer, or delete) user securities across multiple objects at all levels from both user- and SharePoint- centric perspectives.
Management and Reporting:
Schedule all administrative functions for the environment or components of the environment and enforce policies.

Automatically generate sophisticated enterprise reports on your Microsoft SharePoint environment, including system health, action history, and archived content. Export environment reports to multiple formats, including PDF, XML, and CSV E-mail, capture, and archive all administrative actions for real-time alerts, on-demand review, or to satisfy compliance or audit requirements. Manage roles and permissions at any level and delegate management of properties to local Administrators, concealing unauthorized objects.
