Set permission to a folder: Authenticated users but in different language

Question

Hello there I want to set permission to a folder

Start-Process -FilePath "icacls" -ArgumentList ""$env:SystemDrive\KaercherDiag" /q /c /t /q /grant "Authenticated users":(OI)(CI)F" -WindowStyle 'Hidden'

The problem is that I don't know the system locale language and respectively Authenticated users can be different for any language. Is there a way to find how is written and take it as variable.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

You don't need the locale, Authenticated Users is a standard group in Windows. Use *S-1-5-11 for the user name. This is the SID of the Authenticated users group defined for all versions of Windows.

Answer 2

Hello @Tsvetkov, Martin

You can use either SID or the SDDL

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/sid-strings

For example /grant *WD instead of /grant *S-1-1-0 and /grant *BU instead of /grant S-1-5-32-545
( is required before)

Hope this helps with your query,
