lsacl -- list access control lists for object

SYNOPSIS

lsacl [-t [fsplrkw]] [-r] object...

lsacl lists object access control lists for a specified object. Most objects under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista have ACLs controlling permissions to operate on that object. For a full list of the permissions, see chacl.

Options

-r

operates recursively through subdirectories. This option is currently only valid when used in conjunction with the -t f option.

-t [fsprlkw]

specifies the type of object. lsacl accepts the following types:

f	file
k	kernel object
l	lmshare
p	printer
r	registry key
s	service
w	windowstation/desktop object

Registry Key Names

The registry key names that you can specify with the -t r option differ from those used by the registry command and by regedt32:

Registry Name			lsacl Name
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT		CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER		CURRENT_USER
HKEY_USERS			USERS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE	MACHINE
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG	CONFIG

EXAMPLES

To display all ACLs on all files on the c: drive, use

lsacl -r c:/

To display the non-persistent permissions on a file system root, use

lsacl '\\.\c:'

To display the ACL on the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista schedule service, use

lsacl -t s schedule

You may prefix the name of the service with \\machinename\ to query ACLs on a service on a different machine.

To display the ACL on a printer, use

lsacl -t p 'hp laserjet iiisi Postscript v52.3'

You may prefix the name of the printer with \\machinename\ to query ACLs on a printer on a different machine.

To display the ACL on a registry key, use

lsacl -t r 'CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID'

You may prefix the name of the registry key with \\machinename\ to query ACLs on a service on a different machine.

To display the ACL on a sharepoint, use

lsacl -t l '\\machine\share'

Note: This is not the same as if you used -t f. One gives the permissions to attach to the share point; the other gives the permissions to manipulate the file system at the root point of the file system.

To display the ACL on a particular named pipe, use

lsacl -t k '\\.\pipe'

To display the ACL on the the current windowstation, on the current desktop.

lsacl -t w $(ws) $(ws)/$(ws -d)
