Is it possible to clear other/all permissions? #1

Closed absolutejam closed 8 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to clear other/all permissions instead of choosing to remove individual principals? Is the functionality there to do the equivalent of 'Disable inheritance' -> 'Remove all inherited permissions from this object'?

I have certain folders that I want very specific NTFS permissions and this seems like the best way.

If this isn't something I'm overlooking, I'll try and dig in to the code.

Thanks!

Hi, It is not currently possible, but I will look into it. A new resource has to be created.

The cNtfsPermissionsInheritance resource has been added. You can get it in the dev branch. Your feedback will be appreciated.

Hey, sorry for the delay.

This looks like exactly what I need. I was trying to write it myself, but I hadn't gotten to the grips with writing my own resources yet, but in seeing you create a new one has actually helped me understand a bit better.

Thanks for the help.

Glad it helped. I am planning to release version 1.2 to PS Gallery within 2 weeks.
