To use icacls.exe
to set special folder permissions for a domain user on Windows, you need to run the command with administrative privileges. The syntax for setting folder permissions is as follows:
phpicacls <folder_path> /grant <user>:<permissions>
Where:
<folder_path>
is the path of the folder for which you want to set permissions.<user>
is the domain user for whom you want to set permissions.<permissions>
are the specific permissions you want to grant to the user. This can be a combination of various permissions likeF
(full control),R
(read),W
(write),X
(execute), etc.
Here's an example command to grant full control to a domain user on a folder:
bashicacls "C:\path\to\folder" /grant "DOMAIN\Username":F
Replace "C:\path\to\folder"
with the actual path of the folder and "DOMAIN\Username"
with the domain user account for whom you want to grant full control.
Keep in mind that you need administrative privileges to run the icacls
command, and the command should be executed from an elevated command prompt (Run as Administrator). Also, be cautious when modifying permissions, as incorrect changes can cause issues with file access.
