ICACLS directory [/substitute SidOld SidNew [...]] /restore aclfile [/C] [/L] [/Q]
*'''Examples:'''
    applies the stored acls to files in directory.


ICACLS name /setowner user [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    changes the owner of all matching names.


ICACLS name /findsid Sid [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
icacls c:\Directory1
    finds all matching names that contain an ACL explicitly mentioning Sid.


ICACLS name /verify [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
-  Will display the ACL listing the Users and Groups with permissions specified for the folder C:\Direcory1
    finds all files whose ACL is not in canonical for or whose lengths are inconsistent with ACE counts.


ICACLS name /reset [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    replaces acls with default inherited acls for all matching files


ICACLS name [/grant[:r] Sid:perm[...]]
icacls c:\Directory1 /Deny Users:M
      [/deny Sid:perm [...]]
      [/remove[:g|:d]] Sid[...]] [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
      [/setintegritylevel Level:policy[...]]


    /grant[:r] Sid:perm grants the specified user access rights.
-  Will deny the Users group Modify access to the folder C:\Directory1
With :r, the permissions replace any previouly granted explicit permissions.
        Without :r, the permissions are added to any previously granted explicit permissions.


    /deny Sid:perm explicitly denies the specified user access rights.
        An explicit deny ACE is added for the stated permissions and the same permissions in any explicit grant are removed.


    /remove[:[g|d]] Sid removes all occurrences of Sid in the acl.
icacls c:\windows\* /save AclFile /T
With :g, it removes all occurrences of granted rights to that Sid.
With :d, it removes all occurrences of denied rights to that Sid.


    /setintegritylevel [(CI)(OI)]Level explicitly adds an integrity ACE to all matching files
-  Will save the ACLs for all files under c:\windows and its subdirectories to AclFile.
The level is to be specified as one of:
            L[ow]
            M[edium]
            H[igh]
       
Inheritance options for the integrity ACE may precede the level and are applied only to directories.


    /inheritance:e|d|r
        e - enables inheritance
        d - disables inheritance and copy the ACEs
        r - remove all inherited ACEs


icacls c:\windows\ /restore AclFile


Note:
-  Will restore the Acls for every file within AclFile that exists in c:\windows and its subdirectories
    Sids may be in either numerical or friendly name form. If a numerical form is given, affix a * to the start of the SID.


    /T indicates that this operation is performed on all matching files/directories below the directories specified in the name.


    /C indicates that this operation will continue on all file errors.  Error messages will still be displayed.
icacls file /grant Administrator:(D,WDAC)


    /L indicates that this operation is performed on a symbolic link itself versus its target.
-  Will grant the user Administrator Delete and Write DAC permissions to file


    /Q indicates that icacls should supress success messages.


    ICACLS preserves the canonical ordering of ACE entries:
icacls file /grant *S-1-1-0:(D,WDAC)
            Explicit denials
            Explicit grants
            Inherited denials
            Inherited grants


    perm is a permission mask and can be specified in one of two forms:
- Will grant the user defined by sid S-1-1-0 Delete and Write DAC permissions to file
        a sequence of simple rights:
                F - full access
                M - modify access
                RX - read and execute access
                R - read-only access
                W - write-only access
        a comma-separated list in parenthesis of specific rights:
                D - delete
                RC - read control
                WDAC - write DAC
                WO - write owner
                S - synchronize
                AS - access system security
                MA - maximum allowed
                GR - generic read
                GW - generic write
                GE - generic execute
                GA - generic all
                RD - read data/list directory
                WD - write data/add file
                AD - append data/add subdirectory
                REA - read extended attributes
                WEA - write extended attributes
                X - execute/traverse
                DC - delete child
                RA - read attributes
                WA - write attributes
        inheritance rights may precede either form and are applied
        only to directories:
                (OI) - object inherit
                (CI) - container inherit
                (IO) - inherit only
                (NP) - don't propagate inherit
 
Examples:
 
        icacls c:\windows\* /save AclFile /T
        - Will save the ACLs for all files under c:\windows and its subdirectories to AclFile.
 
        icacls c:\windows\ /restore AclFile
        - Will restore the Acls for every file within AclFile that exists in c:\windows and its subdirectories
 
        icacls file /grant Administrator:(D,WDAC)
        - Will grant the user Administrator Delete and Write DAC permissions to file
 
        icacls file /grant *S-1-1-0:(D,WDAC)
        - Will grant the user defined by sid S-1-1-0 Delete and Write DAC permissions to file

  • Purpose

The ICACLS command displays or modifies discretionary access control lists (DACLs) on specified files or folders. It is also used to backup DACLs and apply stored DACLs to files in specified directories. This can be used with Windows Server 2008 Full edition and Server Core where no GUI exists.

  • Syntax

icacls <FileName> [/grant[:r] <Sid>:<Perm>[...]] [/deny <Sid>:<Perm>[...]] [/remove[:g|:d]] <Sid>[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q] [/setintegritylevel <Level>:<Policy>[...]]

icacls <Directory> [/substitute <SidOld> <SidNew> [...]] [/restore <ACLfile> [/c] [/l] [/q]]

icacls c:\Directory1 /Deny Users:M

- Will deny the Users group Modify access to the folder C:\Directory1


icacls c:\windows\* /save AclFile /T

- Will save the ACLs for all files under c:\windows and its subdirectories to AclFile.


icacls c:\windows\ /restore AclFile
