Windows 10: icacls command to grant only List folder content to an user

Hi there, I have a main Budget folder that will keep sub-folders for each Department, eg Dept1, Dept2 etc Dept users can only read/write in their own Dept folders. eg. UserA can read and write in Dept1 folder only. To achieve this, I believe I have to grant all users to just "List folder content" on the parent Budget folder. Then grant each User to their own Dept folders read/write. But I can't find any parameters for just "List folder content" under icacls command. Need to do for hundred of users, anyone can help?Thanks much!

I want to grant permission to sub folders and files from parent using command.

I want to grant permission to sub folders and files from parent using command.

I tried to this command:

ICACLS "file or folder" /grant Everyone /t

This commands can grant permission to sub folders and files to 'Everyone' user.

But it is not I want.

Parent folder can be accessed by the following users:

IUSR

SYSTEM

and so on...

I want to inherit all users who have access to the parent folder to the subfolders or files.

In other words, ICACLS "file or folder" /grant (All Users with access to the parent folder ) /t

Is it possible?

Please help me~

 

Icacls command usage ?


I ran this command on a four level deep sub-folders within Program Files (x86)

It worked although two errors for two files, how do I find what those two files are that created the error ?

I was able to successfully write to the sub-folder within Program Files (x86) and that is exactly what the command listed in the command prompt; although I realized, I was able to write to all the folders within Program Files (x86) instead of explicitly being granting access to only the four level deep sub-folder in Program Files (x86) ?

If I wanted to revert back to the previous privileges I must use the /remove command ?

I don't understand in the icacls help, /remove then :g & :d removes all occurrences of granted rights to the Sid ?

 

Help!! Can not delete folder

Code: ICACLS D:\anime /remove:d username /C ICACLS D:\anime /grant username:F /C erase D:\anime[/quote] It's been years since I touched access lists but the above should work from either your own username or as administrator. If not, you can start in safe mode and modify the folder ownership.
