Find & remove SharePoint shared links and unique permissions

Scan, report, and clean up shared links and broken inheritance across SharePoint document libraries.

Over time, SharePoint document libraries become messy as staff share links freely and break permissions without realising the long-term impact.

The result is permission sprawl — files with unique permissions, anonymous or external sharing links, and content accessible to people who should no longer have access.

ShareMaster's Shared Links & Permissions Cleanup scans multiple document libraries within a SharePoint site, reports on shared links and unique permissions, and removes them in bulk to restore inherited access.

Why this matters

Shared links are often created casually — "just for a minute" — but they frequently remain long after the original need has passed. That creates security risk, audit gaps, and compliance concerns.

ShareMaster makes it easy to see exactly what is shared, who it's shared with, and take action confidently — either by exporting a report or actively cleaning up access.

How it works

1. Select document libraries

Choose one or multiple document libraries within a SharePoint site to scan.

2. Analyse permissions and links

The app detects shared links, identifies unique permissions, and records who content is shared with and how.

3. Report or enforce

Generate a report for review, or remove shared links and unique permissions in bulk to restore inherited access.

Try it yourself. Discover and clean up SharePoint shared links and unique permissions across your document libraries.
