PowerShell to get Folder Owner 3 Folders Deep - powershell

Question

I need to get a list of all the folders owners on a shared network drive. However, I want to limit the recursion to just 3 folders deep (some of our users will create folders several levels deep, despite us telling them not to). I've found the below script, and slightly modified it to just give folder owner (it originally returned a lot more information for ACLs), but it still goes down through every folder level. How can I modify this to only return 3 folder levels?
$OutFile = "C:\temp\FolderOwner.csv" # indicates where to input your logfile#
$Header = "Folder Path;Owner"
Add-Content -Value $Header -Path $OutFile
$RootPath = "G:\" # which directory/folder you would like to extract the acl permissions#
$Folders = dir $RootPath -recurse | where {$_.psiscontainer -eq $true}
foreach ($Folder in $Folders){
$Owner = (get-acl $Folder.fullname).owner
Foreach ($ACL in $Owner){
$OutInfo = $Folder.Fullname + ";" + $owner
Add-Content -Value $OutInfo -Path $OutFile
}
}

You should be able to add a '*' to your path for each level. For example, this should return items three levels deep under C:\Temp:
dir c:\temp\*\*\*
Here's a sample function you can use (it's written for PowerShell v3 or higher, but it can be modified to work for version 2):
function Get-FolderOwner {
param(
[string] $Path = "."
)
Get-ChildItem $Path -Directory | ForEach-Object {
# Get-Acl throws terminating errors, so we need to wrap it in
# a ForEach-Object block; included -ErrorAction Stop out of habit
try {
$Owner = $_ | Get-Acl -ErrorAction Stop | select -exp Owner
}
catch {
$Owner = "Error: {0}" -f $_.Exception.Message
}
[PSCustomObject] #{
Path = $_.FullName
Owner = $Owner
}
}
}
Then you could use it like this:
Get-FolderOwner c:\temp\*\*\* | Export-Csv C:\temp\FolderOwner.csv
If you're after all items up to and including 3 levels deep, you can modify the function like this:
function Get-FolderOwner {
param(
[string] $Path = ".",
[int] $RecurseDepth = 1
)
$RecurseDepth--
Get-ChildItem $Path -Directory | ForEach-Object {
# Get-Acl throws terminating errors, so we need to wrap it in
# a ForEach-Object block; included -ErrorAction Stop out of habit
try {
$Owner = $_ | Get-Acl -ErrorAction Stop | select -exp Owner
}
catch {
$Owner = "Error: {0}" -f $_.Exception.Message
}
[PSCustomObject] #{
Path = $_.FullName
Owner = $Owner
}
if ($RecurseDepth -gt 0) {
Get-FolderOwner -Path $_.FullName -RecurseDepth $RecurseDepth
}
}
}
And use it like this:
Get-FolderOwner c:\temp -RecurseDepth 3 | Export-Csv C:\temp\FolderOwner.csv

Any help?
resolve-path $RootPath\*\* |
where { (Get-Item $_).PSIsContainer } -PipelineVariable Path |
Get-Acl |
Select #{l='Folder';e={$Path}},Owner
