I'm using a powershell script to create auditing in a windows directory and all of its subfolders.
$DrivePath = $args[0]
$AuditUser = "Everyone"
$AuditRules = "FullControl"
$InheritType = "ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit"
$AuditType = "Success,Failure"
$AccessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAuditRule($AuditUser,$AuditRules,$InheritType,"None",$AuditType)
$ACL = Get-Acl $DrivePath
$ACL.SetAuditRule($AccessRule)
$ACL | Set-Acl $DrivePath
After running the script, the auditing is created for the root directory, but all of the subfolders have disabled the checkbox- "include inheritable auditing entries from this object's parent".
How can i use the script and keep the inheritance?
$ACL = Get-Acl $DrivePath
$ACL.SetAuditRule($AccessRule)
# Add this line
$ACL.SetAuditRuleProtection($True, $False)
$ACL | Set-Acl $DrivePath

I am trying to use the "default" options in applying folder permissions; by that, I mean that using the "Full Controll, Write, Read, etc" in the 'Properties' for a folder.
The following script works to add the user in, but it applies "Special Permissions" - not the ones with the tick boxes for the ones visible in the properties menu of the folder:
$Acl = Get-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share"
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("user","FullControl","Allow")
$Acl.SetAccessRule($Ar)
Set-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share" $Acl
What am I doing wrong please?
Specifying inheritance in the FileSystemAccessRule() constructor fixes this, as demonstrated by the modified code below (notice the two new constuctor parameters inserted between "FullControl" and "Allow").
$Acl = Get-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share"
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("user", "FullControl", "ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$Acl.SetAccessRule($Ar)
Set-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share" $Acl
According to this topic
"when you create a FileSystemAccessRule the way you have, the
InheritanceFlags property is set to None. In the GUI, this
corresponds to an ACE with the Apply To box set to "This Folder Only",
and that type of entry has to be viewed through the Advanced
settings."
I have tested the modification and it works, but of course credit is due to the MVP posting the answer in that topic.
Referring to Gamaliel 's answer: $args is an array of the arguments that are passed into a script at runtime - as such cannot be used the way Gamaliel is using it.
This is actually working:
$myPath = 'C:\whatever.file'
# get actual Acl entry
$myAcl = Get-Acl "$myPath"
$myAclEntry = "Domain\User","FullControl","Allow"
$myAccessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($myAclEntry)
# prepare new Acl
$myAcl.SetAccessRule($myAccessRule)
$myAcl | Set-Acl "$MyPath"
# check if added entry present
Get-Acl "$myPath" | fl
Another example using PowerShell for set permissions (File / Directory) :
Verify permissions
Get-Acl "C:\file.txt" | fl *
Apply full permissions for everyone
$acl = Get-Acl "C:\file.txt"
$accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("everyone","FullControl","Allow")
$acl.SetAccessRule($accessRule)
$acl | Set-Acl "C:\file.txt"

Hope this helps
In case you need to deal with a lot of folders containing subfolders and other recursive stuff. Small improvement on #Mike L'Angelo:
$mypath = "path_to_folder"
$myacl = Get-Acl $mypath
$myaclentry = "username","FullControl","Allow"
$myaccessrule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($myaclentry)
$myacl.SetAccessRule($myaccessrule)
Get-ChildItem -Path "$mypath" -Recurse -Force | Set-Acl -AclObject $myacl -Verbose
Verbosity is optional in the last line
This One work for me
$path = "C:\test"
$name = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name
$acl = Get-Acl "C:\test"
$accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($name,"FullControl","Allow")
$acl.SetAccessRule($accessRule)
$acl | Set-Acl "C:\test"
Get-ChildItem -Path "$path" -Recurse -Force | Set-Acl -aclObject $acl -Verbose
$path = "C:\DemoFolder"
$acl = Get-Acl $path
$username = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name
$Attribs = $username, "FullControl", "ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow"
$AccessRule = New-Object System.Security.AcessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($Attribs)
$acl.SetAccessRule($AccessRule)
$acl | Set-Acl $path
Get-ChildItem -Path "$path" -Recourse -Force | Set-Acl -aclObject $acl -Verbose
Hello I would like to know how I can change the domain of a folder > security parameter > property > MYDOMAIN\Adm_User I want to change only MYDOMAIN in Powershell thank you very much for your help
t$ACL = Get-ACL .\smithb
$Group = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("Builtin", "Administrators")
$ACL.SetOwner($Group)
Set-Acl -Path .\smithb\profile.v2 -AclObject $ACL
```
t$ACL = Get-ACL C:\Gabriel
$Group = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("Builtin", "Administrators")
$ACL.SetOwner($Group)
Set-Acl -Path C:\Gabriel -AclObject $ACL
```
Try this:
# Give Ownership using PowerShell
$ACL = Get-Acl -Path "C:\Gabriel"
$User = New-Object System.Security.Principal.Ntaccount("Builtin", "Administrators")
$ACL.SetOwner($User)
$ACL | Set-Acl -Path "C:\Gabriel"
Get-ACL -Path "C:\Gabriel"
Attempting to set the owner of a folder as Domain Admins and force inheritance on all sub-folder/files. Using a combination of scripts I've found:
$Account = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Principal.NTAccount -ArgumentList $DomainAdmins;
#Get a list of folders and files
$ItemList = Get-ChildItem -Path $Dir -Recurse;
#Iterate over files/folders
foreach ($Item in $ItemList) {
$Acl = $null; # Reset the $Acl variable to $null
$Acl = Get-Acl -Path $Item.FullName; # Get the ACL from the item
$Acl.SetOwner($Account); # Update the in-memory ACL
$isProtected = $false
$preserveInheritance = $false
$Acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($isProtected, $preserveInheritance)
Set-Acl -Path $Item.FullName -AclObject $Acl; # Set the updated ACL on the target item
}
Error: Set-Acl : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'AclObject' because it is null.
Some folders assign properly, however, not all. I suspect it breaks were there is no owner (possibly an account that's been removed from AD.)
Any ideas on how to approach this?
We will end up using this, even though it's not handling the long file paths correctly.
Import-Module -Name NTFSSecurity
#Remove Inheritance on user's root folder
Get-Item $UserRoot | Disable-NTFSAccessInheritance
#Add Domain Admin to user's root folder
Add-NTFSAccess -Path $UserRoot -Account 'BUILTIN\Administrators', 'yourDomain\Domain Admins' -AccessRights FullControl
#Set Inheritance on all sub-folders on user's directory
Get-ChildItem -Path $UserRoot -Recurse | Enable-NTFSAccessInheritance -PassThru
Check SetOwner() method for setting up owner for a folder
# Define the owner account/group
$Account = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Principal.NTAccount -ArgumentList 'BUILTIN\Administrators';
# Get a list of folders and files
$ItemList = Get-ChildItem -Path c:\test -Recurse;
# Iterate over files/folders
foreach ($Item in $ItemList) {
$Acl = $null; # Reset the $Acl variable to $null
$Acl = Get-Acl -Path $Item.FullName; # Get the ACL from the item
$Acl.SetOwner($Account); # Update the in-memory ACL
Set-Acl -Path $Item.FullName -AclObject $Acl; # Set the updated ACL on the target item
}
Specify Inheritance in FileSystemAccessRule()
$Acl = Get-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share"
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("user", "FullControl", "ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$Acl.SetAccessRule($Ar)
Set-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share" $Acl

I need a group to not be able to modify(/delete) a root folder but the same group has to be able to modify all the subfolders and files, using powershell (repetition/volume)
nb. end result should be two acl rules:
1. one for the current folder (readonly, can make subfolders , can delete subfolders but cannot delete root folder).
2. a second rule for the subfolders and files, in which they can delete and create and have free range over
I have a series of powershell codes that adds the ACL rule for both situations (seperately)
#subfolder rights
$existingAcl = Get-Acl -Path $pad
$permissions = $rechtendoel,'ExecuteFile,ReadData,ReadAttributes,ReadExtendedAttributes,CreateFiles,AppendData,WriteAttributes,WriteExtendedAttributes,DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles,Delete,ReadPermissions', 'ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit', 'InheritOnly', 'Allow'
$regel= New-Object -TypeName System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule -ArgumentList $permissions
$existingAcl.SetAccessRule($regel)
$existingAcl | Set-Acl -Path $pad
#rights for just the folder
$existingAcl2 = Get-Acl -Path $pad
$rechten2 = $rechtendoel,'ExecuteFile,ReadData,ReadAttributes,ReadExtendedAttributes,CreateFiles,AppendData,WriteAttributes,WriteExtendedAttributes,DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles,ReadPermissions', 'None', 'None', 'Allow'
$regel2= New-Object -TypeName System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule -ArgumentList $rechten2
$existingAcl2.SetAccessRule($regel2)
$existingAcl2 | Set-Acl -Path $pad
However when I run both in succession (or seperate from eachother) the latter run segment overwrites the earlier rule.
Try using this type of method for items in sub-directories
$NewAcl = Get-Acl File0.txt
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\temp" -Recurse -Include "*.txt" -Force | Set-Acl -AclObject $NewAcl

I'm trying to add permissions to an existing share. The share has the 4 default permissions on a Windows Server 2012 (creator owner, System...).
When I run the script from my Win7 client it deletes all ntfs-permissions and add only the account from the script. Any ideas???
$folder = Get-Acl "\\win-gv2fnajsqvu\a-og"
$newACL = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("test\user2","FullControl","ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit","None","Allow")
$folder.AddAccessRule($newACL)
Set-Acl "\\win-gv2fnajsqvu\a-og" -aclobject $Folder
It looks like these are inherited properties that are being removed. Try forcing SetAccessRuleProtection to $true for "preserveInheritance" on the $folder object:
$folder = Get-Acl "\\win-gv2fnajsqvu\a-og"
$folder.SetAccessRuleProtection($true, $true)
$newACL = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("test\user2","FullControl","ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit","None","Allow")
$folder.AddAccessRule($newACL)
Set-Acl "\\win-gv2fnajsqvu\a-og" -aclobject $folder
