PowerShell To Set Folder Permissions

by

Specifying inheritance in the FileSystemAccessRule() constructor fixes this, as demonstrated by the modified code below (notice the two new constuctor parameters inserted between "FullControl" and "Allow").

$Acl = Get-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share"

$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("user", "FullControl", "ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")

$Acl.SetAccessRule($Ar)
Set-Acl "\\R9N2WRN\Share" $Acl

According to this topic

“when you create a FileSystemAccessRule the way you have, the
InheritanceFlags property is set to None. In the GUI, this
corresponds to an ACE with the Apply To box set to “This Folder Only”,
and that type of entry has to be viewed through the Advanced
settings.”

I have tested the modification and it works, but of course credit is due to the MVP posting the answer in that topic.
