sshrum Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I just had to build a file permission script via the GUI cuz I couldn't find a way to do this programmatically...damn what a pain. Am I missing something. It seems like there should be a function that would give one the ability to set/modify permission settings on files and folders (as long as the current user or RUNAS had permissions to do so). Any ideas? Sean Shrum :: http://www.shrum.net All my published AU3-based apps and utilities 'Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot'

sshrum Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) That is only file *attributes*....nothing in there about dealing with user/group account permissions to the files/folders which is what I am looking for.Maybe I wasn't clear.

It seems like there should be a function that would give one the ability to set/modify permission settings on files and folders (as long as the current user or RUNAS had permissions to do so).Any ideas?i think i remember a program called setacl or something like that, which does precisely what you need. search the forums for 'permissions file registry' and you should see it mentioned...
sshrum Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 Found the app...looks promising. Thanks for the suggestion. It would still be nice to have this functionality built-in to autoit (just a suggestion) Sean Shrum :: http://www.shrum.net All my published AU3-based apps and utilities 'Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot'
blindwig Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 You can use the 3rd party tool setacls as cameronsdad suggested, or you can try cacls which comes with Windows. It's not as nice, but if you use it then that one less external file you have to distribute with your script. My UDF Threads:Pseudo-Hash: Binary Trees, Flat TablesFiles: Filter by Attribute, Tree List, Recursive Find, Recursive Folders Size, exported to XMLArrays: Nested, Pull Common Elements, Display 2dSystem: Expand Environment Strings, List Drives, List USB DrivesMisc: Multi-Layer Progress Bars, Binary FlagsStrings: Find Char(s) in String, Find String in SetOther UDF Threads I Participated:Base64 Conversions
sshrum Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 Good point and really what I was going for with my last statement. I think I'll play around with the cacls a bit. Most of what I need done is file permissions changes (and a few reg permissions now and then) Thanks for the info.

oleg Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Cant this be done with some Dll? Edited March 30, 2006 by oleg There is a hex ( 31303030303030 ) reasons i love AutoIt !
sww Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I scripted this sometime back. I used CACLS. The only downside is that the CACLS command doesn't propergate through directories. This means that you have to set up a loop to query the file attributes. If its a folder, then go deeper into the file structure.

sww Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I can't believe I didn't spot that! I could have saved myself a bit of time there.
