### Optional: Configure the User Permissions Report - Permission Set

* There is no need to deal with the native Windows Access Control Entries (ACE).
* Our **NTFS permissions reporter** offers you the ability to make these names more meaningful.
* Configure your own permission set names. We ship a pre-configured list of translated items for you.
