Inventory SharePoint Role Definitions

During the inventory process, EmpowerID discovers any roles or permissions that have been assigned to a user or group in SharePoint and adds these as SharePoint Role Definitions in EmpowerID. SharePoint Role Definitions represent the actual SharePoint permissions discovered by EmpowerID during the inventory of managed SharePoint Online resource systems. SharePoint Role Definitions or permissions are defined per SharePoint Site Collection and are used by all sites in that site collection. Each SharePoint Role Definition applies to multiple resource types in SharePoint, such as lists, folders, documents and webs.

EmpowerID inventories both inherited and unique permissions for sites.
