Get-ACL – Report file and folder permissions

If you need to report out file and folder permissions of a file share, see the below PowerShell.

First map the the share to a drive if it isnt already.  In my case X: drive.

Why didn’t I do this on the server hosting the files?  UAC gets in the way and is a pain the bum.

$FolderPath = dir -Directory -Path "x:\" -Recurse -Force
$Report = @()
Foreach ($Folder in $FolderPath) {
$Acl = Get-Acl -Path $Folder.FullName
foreach ($Access in $acl.Access)
{
$Properties = [ordered]@{'FolderName'=$Folder.FullName;'AD
Group or
User'=$Access.IdentityReference;'Permissions'=$Access.FileSystemRights;'Inherited'=$Access.IsInherited}$Report += New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $Properties}
}
$Report | Export-Csv -path "C:\temp\Folder_Permissions.csv"
