Automate folder/Sub-folders ACL using powershell

Question

Hello Microsoft Community Members,

I am working on a powershell script that automates folder/sub-folders creation. I was able to accomplish this, however, i need to set certain access through automation. I've been looking for answers online, which I tried many of them without success.

Here is my Scenario:

1. I want to create Project folder, under the main project folder comes sub-folders.
2. The project root folder should not be altered by anyone except certain project managers (other users cannot add/ remove sub-folders)inside each sub-folder, users can modify whatever they want (Add/Remove/Delete/Create), this can be accomplished through GUI, but i need to make it automated.

What i have done so far, is i was able to take the input from the user (Project folder name, and sub-folders are statically assigned) and automate folder and sub-folders creation, but unable to automate the permissions.

Appreciate any kind of assistance. Thank you!!
