Exporting NTFS Security settings to a file?

I just started a new job and ntfs security for the various folders is not
documented. So I have been viewing the security tab for folders which is
very time consuming.

Is there a way to export ntfs security settings for the directory using the
command line, or a utility, to a text file.

Thanks much!

Dennis,

The command you are looking for is CACLS or xCACLS. Have a look at the
following article:

Ryan, this helps quite a bit. Do you know if there is a way to display not
only the parent folder, but also the child folders without having to drill
down and rerun the command at each level?

Also, do you know what (OI) (CI) (IO) mean?

Thanks much!

Dennis,

The /T switch will make the command go through ALL subordinate folders. The
abbreviations are the key that denotes permissions that are effectively set
through inheritance vs. permissions explicitely set on a file or folder.

Yes, I did see the /t and got that to work, but had already sent my previous
post. Thanks for explanation regarding (OI) (CI) (IO).

Thanks much, you have been a big help.
