SetACL: File Permission Manager for Windows Servers

Set file and folder permissions on Windows servers with a graphical interface and granular control over access lists, perfect for administrators needing easy access control management.

What is SetACL?

SetACL is a Windows utility that provides a graphical user interface for managing access control lists (ACLs) on files, folders, and registry keys. It allows administrators to easily set permissions for users and groups without having to directly edit ACLs from the command line.

Some key features of SetACL include:

  • Intuitive graphical interface for setting granular permissions on folders, files, and registry keys
  • Ability to propagate permissions changes recursively to child objects
  • Undo capability to roll back unwanted permission changes
  • Command line functionality for scripting and scheduling tasks
  • Export and import of ACL templates for reuse
  • Compatibility with Windows Server versions from 2000 up to the latest release

SetACL helps administrators manage permissions and security more efficiently on Windows networks. By abstracting the complex ACL infrastructure, it makes it easier to assign read, write, modify and other access rights to users and groups as needed. Advanced features like permission inheritance and customization of access control entries assists with hardening and lock down of sensitive resources.

Overall, SetACL provides a simplified way for IT teams to wrangle with ACL management on Windows servers through an intuitive point-and-click tool.
