Summary

Permissions Manager is a software supplies GUI to manage security settings of files and folders. This GUI is quite different than generic Windows security dialog. It allows creating predefined sets of access control entries (presets) and applying these presets to file system objects. With Permissions Manager you don't need to pick up security principals from the list to assign security settings for a file or folder. It is enough to compose a preset only once and then apply it with a single click.

With Permissions Manager you can limit access to programs, files and folders on your home computer to your children, or protect important documents or programs when computer is shared by several persons.

Permissions manager is implemented as shell extension. This allows to put "Security"/"Easy Security" property page to "Properties" page of any object shell interacts with.

Version 2.3 runs on Windows XP (both Home and Professional editions), Windows 2003 and Windows Vista (all editions).
