[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Grant-DfsnAccess cmdlet grants permissions to users and groups for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder. This cmdlet grants permissions to access a folder and to enumerate its contents. You can use the Get-DfsnAccess cmdlet to see the current permissions, and you can use the Revoke-DfsnAccess cmdlet to revoke permissions.
For a DFS namespace which has Access-based enumeration enabled, users can see only the folders that they can access.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaceshttp://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc730736 (http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc730736) on TechNet.
