Sitecore Security Report and Reset

2011-07-07 | Sitecore Security

I have a nice assortment of little scripts that I've written over the years to perform various tasks within Sitecore. Based on this Stack Overflow question I figured I would release one.

This script will show, and allow you to reset, the __security field on all items in a subtree. The code wasn't written to be pretty; it was written quickly to perform a very specific task.

To use this, simply drop this aspx file into your webroot and browse to it. Delete when done.
