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 c:\Directory1


/L indicates that this operation is performed on a symbolic link itself versus its target.
-  Will display the ACL listing the Users and Groups with permissions specified for the folder C:\Direcory1


/Q indicates that icacls should supress success messages.


icacls c:\Directory1 /Deny Users:M


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


*ICACLS preserves the canonical ordering of ACE entries:
Explicit denials, Explicit grants, Inherited denials, Inherited grants


*Perm is a permission mask and can be specified in one of two forms:
icacls c:\windows\* /save AclFile /T
        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:
- Will save the ACLs for all files under c:\windows and its subdirectories to AclFile.
                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\ /restore AclFile


        icacls c:\windows\* /save AclFile /T
- Will restore the Acls for every file within AclFile that exists in c:\windows and its subdirectories
        - 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)
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 Administrator Delete and Write DAC permissions to file
        - Will grant the user defined by sid S-1-1-0 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]]
