#111: Find the list of all the permissions on a directory using PowerShell?

Windows permissions are sometimes very complex to understand.

Below snippet can be used to get the list of all the permissions list:

# Define the directory path to inspect

$directoryPath = "C:\MyDirectory"

# Get ACLs for the directory and its subdirectories

$directoryACLs = Get-ChildItem -Path $directoryPath -Recurse |

    Get-Acl |

    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access

# Output information about each ACL

foreach ($acl in $directoryACLs) {

    Write-Output "Path: $($acl.Path)"

    Write-Output "IdentityReference: $($acl.IdentityReference)"

    Write-Output "FileSystemRights: $($acl.FileSystemRights)"

    Write-Output "AccessControlType: $($acl.AccessControlType)"

    Write-Output "IsInherited: $($acl.IsInherited)"

    Write-Output "-----------------------------"

}

Thanks!!
