You may notice that when running the `Stop-Service`, `Start-Service`, or `Restart-Service` cmdlets as a non-Administrator, you get permissions errors. That's because you need to correct permissions. This function grants just the permissions needed to use PowerShell's `Stop-Service`, `Start-Service`, and `Restart-Service` cmdlets to control a service. .LINK Get-ServicePermission .LINK Grant-ServicePermission .LINK Revoke-ServicePermission .EXAMPLE Grant-ServiceControlPermission -ServiceName CCService -Identity INITRODE\Builders Grants the INITRODE\Builders group permission to control the CruiseControl.NET service. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] # The name of the service. $ServiceName, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] # The user/group name being given access. $Identity ) Set-StrictMode -Version 'Latest' Use-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -Session $ExecutionContext.SessionState if( $pscmdlet.ShouldProcess( $ServiceName, "grant control service permissions to '$Identity'" ) ) { Grant-ServicePermission -Name $ServiceName -Identity $Identity -QueryStatus -EnumerateDependents -Start -Stop } } |
