/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.
 
/L indicates that this operation is performed on a symbolic link itself versus its target.
 
/Q indicates that icacls should supress success messages.
 
 
 
*ICACLS preserves the canonical ordering of ACE entries:

                F - full access
                M - modify access
                RX - read and execute access
                R - read-only access
                W - write-only access

Modifying Permissions With ICACLs

  • Purpose

Displays or modifies discretionary access control lists (DACLs) on specified files, and applies stored DACLs to files in specified directories. This can be used with Windows Server 2008 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]]

  • 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
