Perm is a permission mask that can be specified in one of the following forms: A sequence of simple rights: F (full access) M (modify access) RX (read and execute access) R (read-only access) W (write-only access) A comma-separated list in parenthesis of specific rights: D (delete) RC (read control) WDAC (write DAC) WO (write owner) S (synchronize) AS (access system security) MA (maximum allowed) GR (generic read) GW (generic write) GE (generic execute) GA (generic all) RD (read data/list directory) WD (write data/add file) AD (append data/add subdirectory) REA (read extended attributes)

WEA (write extended attributes) X (execute/traverse) DC (delete child) RA (read attributes) WA (write attributes) Inheritance rights may precede either Perm form, and they are applied only to directories: (OI): object inherit (CI): container inherit (IO): inherit only (NP): do not propagate inherit

Examples
To save the DACLs for all files in the C:\Windows directory and its subdirectories to the ACLFile file, type: icacls c:\windows\* /save aclfile /t To restore the DACLs for every file within ACLFile that exists in the C:\Windows directory and its subdirectories, type: icacls c:\windows\ /restore aclfile To grant the user User1 Delete and Write DAC permissions to a file named "Test1", type: icacls test1 /grant User1:(d,wdac) To grant the user defined by SID S-1-1-0 Delete and Write DAC permissions to a file, named "Test2", type: icacls test2 /grant *S-1-1-0:(d,wdac)
