# Scanning permissions As part of a scan, permissions will be scanned from the source. You can then use the scan results to inspect the permissions on the source. Make sure check **Enable File/Folder Permission Preservation** during setup to use this feature. To check the permissions on an individual file or folder, go to **Discovery Scan** within your project, highlight your target item, and click **\*Details**, then **Sharing**. ### **Downloadable reports** Additionally to the reporting available in the front end, you can download two reports on file permissions: | Permissions Report | A CSV export of all permissions detected on the source by file and folder. | | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Applied Permissions Report | A CSV export of applied permissions |
