Over time, SharePoint document libraries often become messy as staff share links freely and break permissions without realizing 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 lets you scan multiple document libraries within a SharePoint site, generate a clear report of shared links and unique permissions, or remove them in bulk to restore inherited permissions.

Why this matters
Shared links are often created casually — “just for a minute” — but they frequently remain long after the original need has passed. This creates security risk, audit gaps, and compliance concerns.
ShareMaster makes it easy to see exactly what is shared, who it is 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.
Designed for real-world SharePoint environments
Whether you are preparing for an audit, responding to a security concern, or simply trying to regain control after years of organic growth, ShareMaster gives you visibility and control without scripts or manual effort.
