Maybe not a good man, how about a semi-well behaved penguin?

Google up more information on the command line utility XACLS.EXE or you'll have to find the appropriate COM objects for filesystem management.

Hope that helps.

It may not give you all the little nooks and crannies about NTFS permissions, but should work for basic rights (read/write/change/full).

Hi.

Was seaching for the same question, to be natively solved with autoit. Doesn't look like it's integrated with autoit, so I think I will go ahead using setacl.exe or setacl.ocx of Helge Klein.

Just to mention it, ven though it's a very old thread

Regards, Rudi.

Hi rudi,

if you're running Win2008 / Vista and up, you can use icacls.exe which is very powerful. I implemented a few scripts on that basis.

I use setacl as I haven't had time to read up on this yet. However, this udf may help.

This is something I threw together for our helpdesk to run from their XP boxes. Might give you a starting point.

$var = InputBox("Grant Access", "Enter the user ID")
$dir = InputBox("Directory", "UNC path to parent directory")
$perm = InputBox("Level of Access", "Enter the level of Access: C(hange), F(ull control), R(ead only), W(rite)")

While 1

  $var2 = FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder.", $dir, 1)
        RunWait( 'CACLS "' & $var2 & '" /E /G ' & $var & ':' & $perm, "", @SW_HIDE )
        $var3 = MsgBox(4, "Complete", "Would you like to specify another directory?")
  If $var3 = 7 Then ExitLoop

WEnd

MsgBox(0, "Access Granted", "Access has been granted to the specified directories.")
