An amazing find: List user group permissions from Client machine SharePoint.

Have you ever thought of searching for a user account in an enormous list of SharePoint permission groups?  Nightmare isn’t it?

I bumped into this amazing utility which lists the SharePoint groups for a user account in a SharePoint site collection.  Thanks to the black knight!

Run it off a command line from any client computer and you do not absolutely need to be on a server.

Parameters:

ListUsersGroups

Site-url: Url of site collection including protocol (example http://localhost)

username: Full username including domain (example MOSSWORK\user)
