Hi all, I'm looking to make a script, in either batch or Powershell, that will give a user access to a folder and all folders leading down to it. So, it would; Ask for input of Active Directory UserID Ask for input of a folder path List all of the security groups for the first folder in the path and allow selection of which one the AD UserID will be added to. List all of the security groups for the second folder in the path and allow selection of which one the AD UserID will be added to. List all of the security groups for the third folder in the path and allow selection of which one the AD UserID will be added to. etc. So, if user JBLOGGS wanted access to folder '\\Here\There\Everywhere', the script would; List the security groups for the folder '\\Here' and prompt for which AD group to add user JBLOGGS to. List the security groups for the folder '\\Here\There' and prompt for which AD group to add user JBLOGGS to. List the security groups for the folder '\\Here\There\Everywhere' and prompt for which AD group to add user JBLOGGS to. Note - The security groups for a folder are normally viewable in Windows by right clicking in a folder and going to 'Properties > Security > Group or user names' Hopefully this makes sense, if not please let me know. Please note that I understand the script for adding a user to an AD group, that's easy. The struggle is getting a script to prompt which security group for each level of the folder path the user should be added to. Thank you in advance.
