Permissions reports for site owners
Our site owners find SharePoint permissions very confusing, and I would like to offer them a tool that can give them a better overview and understanding on who has access to what on their sites. Does anyone have any experience with tools that can do this?

- I suggest that you use the default permission groups (visitor, member, owner) and if there is a need to give specific permissions - create a new document library and also a permission group by the same name that the document library. That way you have easy way to track special permissions to libraries /lists. I don't recommend giving item level permissions, because like you now know - we don't have (by default) a proper tool to track permissions
Would this be of any help?

- Thanks, but I am more concerned about the documents that have been shared etc. I believe both Sharegate and Cloudkit 365 have tools for this?
ShareGate can certainly report on permissions but it's not really an end-user solution
- Definitively a governance tool is what you need...by I agree with Moran that governance tools are not targeted to end users
- What i have done is add a page with three instances of the Site User web part with each targeting one of the 3 main groups - Owners, members and visitors. Then add a link to that page in current navigation. Seems to help.
