Permission Report
When to use
Use this skill when the user wants a read-only review of who has access to SharePoint files, folders, libraries, lists, or a site, especially requests such as “who has access,” “permission report,” “sharing report,” “access review,” or “review permissions.”
Inputs
Use the current SharePoint context by default. Determine the reporting scope from the user’s request and available context:
- Selected files or folders, if the user has selected items or says “these/this.”
- A named library or list, if the user names one.
- The whole current site, if no narrower scope is provided.
Only report content and permission details the current user can already see. Never invent access data.
Steps
Stay strictly read-only on permissions.
- Never grant, revoke, change, break, restore, or otherwise modify sharing or permissions.
- Do not create sharing links or invite users.
- Use only discovery, listing, permission-checking, and file-creation tools needed to produce the report.
Resolve the scope.
- If items are selected, report on those selected files or folders.
- If a list or library is named, resolve it from the current site and report on that list/library and representative or included items as supported by available permission tools.
- If no narrower scope is clear, report across accessible user-created lists and libraries on the current site.
- If a scope cannot be resolved, state that plainly in the report and do not guess.
Collect access information.
For each scoped site/list/library/file/folder where available, read:
- Who has access: users, groups, sharing principals, and links.
- Permission level: normalize to Full Control, Edit, Read, or Other/Unknown.
- Whether access is inherited or uniquely set.
- Any sharing links, especially Anyone links.
- External or guest users.
If a tool fails or returns partial/empty permission data, record that limitation plainly; do not fill gaps from assumptions.
Flag risks.
Mark rows and findings for:
- Anyone links.
- External or guest access.
- Broad groups such as Everyone, Everyone except external users, All users, or similar tenant-wide groups.
- Broken inheritance / unique permissions.
- Individual users with Full Control.
Draft a single self-contained HTML report.
- No scripts.
- No external CSS, fonts, images, or resources.
- Use inline CSS only.
- Include a summary band with totals such as scoped objects reviewed, principals found, Full Control/Edit/Read counts, external/guest count, sharing link count, and flagged risk count.
- Include a color-coded access table: red for Full Control/high risk, amber for Edit or caution, green for Read/low risk, gray for unknown. Highlight flagged rows.
- Include a plain-English findings list explaining the main risks and safe observations.
- Include a limitations section if permission details were unavailable or partial.
Save the report.
- Save the HTML file in an
Access Reports folder in an appropriate document library on the current site.
- If the folder does not exist, create only that report folder and only if needed for saving the report.
- Use a clear filename such as
Permission-Report-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.html.
Respond to the user.
- Provide the report link.
- Give a short summary of the highest-risk findings.
- Do not claim permissions were changed.
Output format
After saving the report, respond:
# Permission report created
[Open the report](<link>)
- Scope: <selected items, named list/library, or whole site>
- Reviewed: <count or brief description>
- Key findings: <1 concise sentence with highest-risk issues, or “No high-risk access was found in the data available.”>
HTML report requirements
The saved file must be a complete HTML document:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Permission Report</title>
<style>
/* inline CSS only */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Permission Report</h1>
<section><!-- summary band --></section>
<section><!-- findings --></section>
<section><!-- access table --></section>
<section><!-- limitations, if any --></section>
</body>
</html>
Constraints
