It detects what you are setting permissions on by inspecting the path of the item. If the path is relative, it uses the current location to determine if file system, registry, or private keys permissions should be set. The `Permissions` attribute should be a list of [FileSystemRights](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemrights.aspx), [RegistryRights](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.registryrights.aspx), or [CryptoKeyRights](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.cryptokeyrights.aspx), for files/directories, registry keys, and certificate private keys, respectively. These commands will show you the values for the appropriate permissions for your object: [Enum]::GetValues([Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights]) [Enum]::GetValues([Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights]) [Enum]::GetValues([Security.AccessControl.CryptoKeyRights]) Beginning with Carbon 2.0, permissions are only granted if they don't exist on an item (inherited permissions are ignored). If you always want to grant permissions, use the `Force` switch. Before Carbon 2.0, this function returned any new/updated access rules set on `Path`. In Carbon 2.0 and later, use the `PassThru` switch to get an access rule object back (you'll always get one regardless if the permissions changed or not). By default, permissions allowing access are granted. Beginning in Carbon 2.3.0, you can grant permissions denying access by passing `Deny` as the value of the `Type` parameter. ## Directories and Registry Keys When setting permissions on a container (directory/registry key) you can control inheritance and propagation flags using the `ApplyTo` parameter. This parameter is designed to hide the complexities of the Windows' inheritance and propagation flags. There are 13 possible combinations. Given this tree C / \ CC CL / \ GC GL where * C is the **C**ontainer permissions are getting set on * CC is a **C**hild **C**ontainer * CL is a **C**hild **L**eaf * GC is a **G**randchild **C**ontainer and includes all sub-containers below it * GL is a **G**randchild **L**eaf The `ApplyTo` parameter takes one of the following 13 values and applies permissions to: * **Container** - The container itself and nothing below it. * **SubContainers** - All sub-containers under the container, e.g. CC and GC. * **Leaves** - All leaves under the container, e.g. CL and GL. * **ChildContainers** - Just the container's child containers, e.g. CC. * **ChildLeaves** - Just the container's child leaves, e.g. CL. * **ContainerAndSubContainers** - The container and all its sub-containers, e.g. C, CC, and GC. * **ContainerAndLeaves** - The container and all leaves under it, e.g. C and CL. * **SubContainerAndLeaves** - All sub-containers and leaves, but not the container itself, e.g. CC, CL, GC, and GL. * **ContainerAndChildContainers** - The container and all just its child containers, e.g. C and CC. * **ContainerAndChildLeaves** - The container and just its child leaves, e.g. C and CL. * **ContainerAndChildContainersAndChildLeaves** - The container and just its child containers/leaves, e.g. C, CC, and CL. * **ContainerAndSubContainersAndLeaves** - Everything, full inheritance/propogation, e.g. C, CC, GC, GL. **This is the default.** * **ChildContainersAndChildLeaves** - Just the container's child containers/leaves, e.g. CC and CL. The following table maps `ContainerInheritanceFlags` values to the actual `InheritanceFlags` and `PropagationFlags` values used: ContainerInheritanceFlags InheritanceFlags PropagationFlags ------------------------- ---------------- ---------------- Container None None SubContainers ContainerInherit InheritOnly Leaves ObjectInherit InheritOnly ChildContainers ContainerInherit InheritOnly, NoPropagateInherit ChildLeaves ObjectInherit InheritOnly ContainerAndSubContainers ContainerInherit None ContainerAndLeaves ObjectInherit None SubContainerAndLeaves ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit InheritOnly ContainerAndChildContainers ContainerInherit None ContainerAndChildLeaves ObjectInherit None ContainerAndChildContainersAndChildLeaves ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit NoPropagateInherit ContainerAndSubContainersAndLeaves ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit None ChildContainersAndChildLeaves ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit InheritOnly The above information adapated from [Manage Access to Windows Objects with ACLs and the .NET Framework](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163885.aspx#S3), published in the November 2004 copy of *MSDN Magazine*. If you prefer to speak in `InheritanceFlags` or `PropagationFlags`, you can use the `ConvertTo-ContainerInheritaceFlags` function to convert your flags into Carbon's flags. ## Certificate Private Keys/Key Containers When setting permissions on a certificate's private key/key container, if a certificate doesn't have a private key, it is ignored and no permissions are set. Since certificate's are always leaves, the `ApplyTo` parameter is ignored. When using the `-Clear` switch, note that the local `Administrators` account will always remain. In testing on Windows 2012 R2, we noticed that when `Administrators` access was removed, you couldn't read the key anymore. .OUTPUTS System.Security.AccessControl.AccessRule. When setting permissions on a file or directory, a `System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule` is returned. When setting permissions on a registry key, a `System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule` returned. When setting permissions on a private key, a `System.Security.AccessControl.CryptoKeyAccessRule` object is returned. .LINK Carbon_Permission .LINK ConvertTo-ContainerInheritanceFlags .LINK Disable-AclInheritance .LINK Enable-AclInheritance .LINK Get-Permission .LINK Revoke-Permission .LINK Test-Permission .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemrights.aspx .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.registryrights.aspx .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.cryptokeyrights.aspx .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163885.aspx#S3 .EXAMPLE Grant-Permission -Identity ENTERPRISE\Engineers -Permission FullControl -Path C:\EngineRoom Grants the Enterprise's engineering group full control on the engine room.
