Adding a permission to a registry key

[Sean M]

Hello all,

I searched through the help files and could not find a way to add a permission to a registry key. I found ways to manipulate a registry key itself, but no ways on how to add a permission. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No way to do it in autoit that I know of.

you need an account to check the solution. Bump for any other way to do this. Does not have to be an Autoit way.

I use a commandline utility called SetACL to do that....

Well, that's odd. I don't have an account. Here's what's on the page (pardon my intelectual property / copyright infringement)

Dowload the SetACL program named "setacl-cmdline-2.0.2.0-binary.zip" from

Microsoft offers subinacl.exe to do that; it's part of the Resource Kit Tools. Install them (lots of useful stuff in there, and it will install the help files that include the help for subinacl), then install the update of subinacl (the one in the resource kit is faulty). You can copy subinacl.exe to any target machine, it's just a stand-alone exe.

Syntax example:

subinacl /keyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Acme\AcmeSoft /grant=SomeDomain\SomeGroup
