Post Views: 1,455

Sometimes we have a requirement to get a list of users and groups who have access to a particular file or folder and we cannot copy and paste the GUI list of security tab. Here we need a command to get the list and we can copy it through the command prompt

Here are the command examples to do the job:

D:\>icacls \\servername\folder

\\Servername\public BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE:(OI)(CI)(IO)(M,DC)
NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE:(RX,WD,AD)
NT AUTHORITY\SERVICE:(OI)(CI)(IO)(M,DC)
NT AUTHORITY\SERVICE:(RX,WD,AD)
NT AUTHORITY\BATCH:(OI)(CI)(IO)(M,DC)
NT AUTHORITY\BATCH:(RX,WD,AD)
Everyone:(OI)(CI)(RX)
