Report Information
The first report is called Security Overview and simply lists all the Security Groups and Start Centers counting how many users are assigned to them.
The second report is called Application Security Overview. It tries to represent which security groups provide access to applications.
The report lists all the applications in the rows and the security groups in the columns. The cell is yellow if read access is granted, orange if write access is granted, the number is the count of sigoptions granted.
The report can easily get too big if more than 20 security groups are defined so I decided to accept a list of security groups as filter so I can analyze smaller sets of data separately.
