Description

The Update-AzDataLakeGen2Item cmdlet updates a file or directory on properties, metadata, permission, ACL, and owner. This cmdlet only works if Hierarchical Namespace is enabled for the Storage account. This kind of account can be created by run "New-AzStorageAccount" cmdlet with "-EnableHierarchicalNamespace $true".

Examples

Example 1: Create an ACL object with 3 ACL entry, and update ACL to all items in a Filesystem recursively

$acl = Set-AzDataLakeGen2ItemAclObject -AccessControlType user -Permission rwx 
$acl = Set-AzDataLakeGen2ItemAclObject -AccessControlType group -Permission rw- -InputObject $acl 
$acl = Set-AzDataLakeGen2ItemAclObject -AccessControlType other -Permission "rwt" -InputObject $acl
Get-AzDataLakeGen2ChildItem -FileSystem "filesystem1" -Recurse | Update-AzDataLakeGen2Item -ACL $acl

This command first creates an ACL object with 3 acl entry (use -InputObject parameter to add acl entry to existing acl object), then get all items in a filesystem and update acl on the items.

Example 2: Update all properties on a file, and show them

$file = Update-AzDataLakeGen2Item -FileSystem "filesystem1" -Path "dir1/file1" `
                 -Acl $acl `
                 -Property @{"ContentType" = "image/jpeg"; "ContentMD5" = "i727sP7HigloQDsqadNLHw=="; "ContentEncoding" = "UDF8"; "CacheControl" = "READ"; "ContentDisposition" = "True"; "ContentLanguage" = "EN-US"} `
                 -Metadata  @{"tag1" = "value1"; "tag2" = "value2" } `
                 -Permission rw-rw-rwx `
                 -Owner '$superuser' `
                 -Group '$superuser'

This command updates all properties on a file (ACL, permission,owner, group, metadata, property can be updated with any conbination), and show them in Powershell console.

Example 3: Add an ACL entry to a directory

## Get the origin ACL
$acl = (Get-AzDataLakeGen2Item -FileSystem "filesystem1" -Path 'dir1/dir3/').ACL

# Update permission of a new ACL entry (if ACL entry with same AccessControlType/EntityId/DefaultScope not exist, will add a new ACL entry, else update permission of existing ACL entry)
$acl = Set-AzDataLakeGen2ItemAclObject -AccessControlType user -EntityId $id -Permission rw- -InputObject $acl  

# set the new acl to the directory
Update-AzDataLakeGen2Item -FileSystem "filesystem1" -Path 'dir1/dir3/' -ACL $acl

This command gets ACL from a directory, updates/adds an ACL entry, and sets back to the directory. If ACL entry with same AccessControlType/EntityId/DefaultScope not exist, will add a new ACL entry, else update permission of existing ACL entry.
