## 3. Key Features

- **Flexible search** – Query by **connector**, **application**, **group**, or **user**.
- **Relationship view** – See which applications belong to a connector and which groups or users have access.
- **User-centric view** – View all applications a specific user can access.
- **exportable results** – Download the data for reporting or auditing purposes.
- **Optional user merging** – Merge duplicate users from different groups into one row when exporting.

## 4. How to Use Access Explorer

## 6. Example Scenarios

- **Audit access to applications for a specific connector**

Example: Search for Connector A to see all related applications and their associated groups/users.
- **Verify a specific user’s access**

Example: Search for user `john.doe@example.com` to list all applications they can access.
- **Check group-level permissions**

Example: Search for a group name to see all applications its members can access.
- **Produce a clean access list for reporting**

Example: Enable **Merge duplicate users** to avoid repeating the same user in multiple rows.
