Powershell to find all sharepoint sites a user DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS to

Question

Hi,

Just wondering if you can help out with this one:

I’m wanting to find all sites and subsites in a site collection that a user does not have access to. I’m sure it’s a simple PowerShell script however I can’t find anything online. If someone can help that would be great!

Thanks,

Clare

You can try Acess Checker tool which helps to quickly check what objects within a Sharepoint site hierarchy a user has access to.

Answer 3

Hi Walshey- not sure of a way to do that. Maybe check for user in site permissions and have it return null. I think you're better off getting all sites the user has access to and compare that to a list of all sites.
