Managing permissions with PowerShell is only a bit easier than in VBS or the command line as there are no cmdlets for most day-to-day tasks like getting a permission report or adding permission to an item. PowerShell only offers Get-Acl and Set-Acl but everything in between getting and setting the ACL is missing. This module closes the gap.

Incorrect parameter Alias definition in certain commands #36

Closed AspenForester closed 5 years ago

AspenForester commented 6 years ago

The following commands fail to import with Import-WinModule because of a bug with the definition of the parameter alias definition: Add-NTFSAccess Add-NTFSAudit Get-NTFSAccess Get-NTFSAudit Get-NTFSOrphanedAccess Get-NTFSOrphanedAudit Get-NTFSSimpleAccess Remove-NTFSAccess Remove-NTFSAudit

The typical error raised is:

Import-Module : Failed to generate proxies for remote module 'NTFSSecurity'. Proxy creation has been skipped for the 'Ad
d-NTFSAudit' command, because PowerShell could not verify the safety of a parameter alias name: 'IdentityReference, ID'.
At C:\Users\jole001\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\WindowsCompatibility\0.0.1\WindowsCompatibility.psm1:479 char:13

+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Import-Module], InvalidOperationException

This is further confirmed by @brucepay in issue 38 of WindowsCompatibility
