Access Review is here!!
What is Access Review and why is it important?
Periodic access reviews enable organisations to effectively manage the internal access rights of their employees. By regularly reviewing the access rights of users, organisations make sure that old employees’ or expired team members’ access is removed and only the right people have continued access to the folders and drives with the right permissions.

EasiShare Desktop
New
Finer Controls with Enhanced Permissions
- We have improved the permissions to bring more flexibility to our users and finer controls to the admins. With these latest flexible permissions in EasiShare, download and editing rights can now be provisioned separately. Instead of a “viewer” permission, users can give the same privileges with “reader” permission and disabling the “download” rights.
Viewer 🢂 Reader + No download
Do you need to provide controlled editing rights to your recipients without being able to download the file or copy the content of the file into the clipboard? Now you can!
Recipients can still edit the file without being able to download the file by leveraging the power of our web editing module released in v10.1.
Improvements
Version Update Notification (Cloud Customers)
Notify users on the latest EasiShare version using Windows pop-up notification. Users can easily dismiss or snooze the reminder for the new upgrade. And download the latest version by clicking the “Download” button on the pop-up Windows notification.

Admin Portal
New
Access Review for Drives
Drive permissions can be reviewed by the IT administrators via the Admin Portal. IT administrators can also decide how often they want data owners to review the permissions of managed folders.
Improvement
Faster NTFS Permission Update – (Website only)
Newly added refresh button to the admin portal, allows IT teams to manually refresh the permissions without waiting for the next periodic refresh. This allows IT teams to implement the changes to NTFS permissions much faster, enabling new AD users to have access to the authorised drives as soon as possible.
