Set-Acl

Changes the security descriptor of a specified item, such as a file or a registry key. This command can only be used through PowerShell. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-acl.

  • Copy a security descriptor from one file to another:

$OriginAcl = Get-Acl -Path {{path\to\file}}; Set-Acl -Path {{path\to\file}} -AclObject $OriginAcl

  • Use the pipeline operator to pass a descriptor:

Get-Acl -Path {{path\to\file}} | Set-Acl -Path {{path\to\file}}
