Automating File and Folder Permissions with PowerShell

# Define the folder path and the users/access levels
$folderPath = "C:\SomeFolder"
$usersPermissions = @(
    @{User="Domain\User1"; Access="FullControl"},
    @{User="Domain\User2"; Access="ReadAndExecute"}
)
# Set permissions for each user
foreach ($permission in $usersPermissions) {
    $user = $permission.User
    $access = $permission.Access
    $acl = Get-Acl $folderPath
    $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($user, $access, "Allow")
    $acl.SetAccessRule($rule)
    Set-Acl $folderPath $acl
    Write-Host "Granted $access access to $user for $folderPath"
}
Write-Host "File and folder permissions updated successfully."
