files will be touched.
/S [Used with Directory or Wildcard] This will change all
subfolders under the inputted directory but will NOT
traverse subdirectories unless /T is also present.
If filename is a directory, and /S is not used, no
subdirectories will be touched.
/T [Used only with a Directory] Traverses each
subdirectory and makes the same changes.
This switch will traverse directories only if the
filename is a directory or is using wildcard characters.
/E Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
/G user:GUI Grant security permissions similar to Windows GUI
standard (non-advanced) choices.
/G user:Perm;Spec Grant specified user access rights.
(/G adds to existing rights for user)
User: If User has spaces in it, enclose it in quotes.
If User contains #machine#, it will replace
#machine# with the actual machine name if it is a
non-domain controller, and replace it with the
actual domain name if it is a domain controller.
New to 3.0: User can be a string representing
the actual SID, but MUST be lead by SID#
Example: SID#S-1-5-21-2127521184-160...
(SID string shown has been shortened)
(If any user has SID# then globally all
matches must match the SID (not name)
so if your intention is to apply changes
to all accounts that match DomainUser
then do not specify SID# as one of the
users.)
GUI: Is for standard rights and can be:
Permissions...
