USAGE:

CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm] [/R user [...]]
[/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]

Example:

CACLS "c:\abc.txt " /D Everyone

This will deny access to abc.txt for all user.

CACLS "C:\abc.txt " /G Everyone:F

This will grant access to abc.txt to all users.


Open command prompt and type "CACLS /?" to view usage.

Hey thx so much for teh reply it works:)

however i'm facing some problem in giving full control permissions to all the files in a folder.How can we achive this recursively using any other command??? any idea???

Thx :)

To give full permission to all files in a directory:

CACLS "c:\setups" /T /E /G everyone:F

/T = change ACL to all files & subdirectories.
/E = Edit ACL
/G = Grant permission
"everyone:F " = specify username : permission

Valid permissions:
F = Full control
R = Read
W = Write
C = Change

Hi,
Im using the same currently, but somehow when i do it using CACLS some permissions i think are not getting applied, for the same if i do manually is working ....

s there any other command apart frm CACLS , which we can use instead?

Thx :)

Use Microsoft's SubInAcl

[tezu]

Do we need to download anything for it ??? or can we use it directly??

Do u hae any samples of how to use it ?

Hi ,

I think the command subinacl is used only to change the ownership of the directory , not for changing permissions ...

Hi subin Ninan,

Thanks for the help using CACLS worked perfectly, some problem was there with my syntax itself. Thanks a LOT :)

SubInAcl also allows to set permission.
You can also have a look on xCacls, FileAcl, setACL.
