Powershell – Assign NTFS permission using Powershell via CSV

active-directoryntfspowershellwindows-server-2012-r2

I have a CSV file as below

Foldername———- Securitygroup

Folder1———- SG_Folder1-Access

Folder2———- SG_Folder2-Access

I need to assign permissions like below,

so Security Group " SG_Folder1-Access " will have modify access on "Folder 1"

Security Group " SG_Folder2-Access " will have modify access on "Folder 2"

I have 500 folders and their own security group and need to create a power shell script to assign permissions.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You can try the following script:

$acl = Get-Acl "\\$servername\folderpath"

$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("domain\user or usergroup","Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)

$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Users","Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)

Set-Acl "\\$servername\folderpath" $acl

Powershell – Recursively changing permissions with Powershell

Untested but how about something like this:

$acls = @{};
Get-ChildItem Template |
    Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer } |
    ForEach-Object {
        $acls[$_.Name] = Get-Acl $_.FullName ;
    }

Get-ChildItem Folder2 -Recurse |
    Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer -and $acls.ContainsKey($_.Name) } |
    ForEach-Object {
        Set-Acl $_.FullName $acls[$_.Name] ;
    }

Powershell script to create folders from CSV list of users

This should do the trick:-

# Read in List of Users
$ListofUsers=Get-Content "UserList.csv"
foreach ($User in $ListofUsers)
{
SetFolderPermission.ps1 -Path E:\TestFolder\$User
}
