at the last steps did you created a Powershell Function named "Set-FilePermicions" with parmeters for user (John) and path ? if so, does it gets added permanently to powershell?

So if I wanted to exclude a folder from Windows Defender, could that be automated with PowerShell as a BAT file, convert it to an EXE requesting Admin permission.

Then in theory, the user executes the file, accepts the UAC, it will open PowerShell as an admin and execute the exclusion command yes?

Trying to create my own program but WD keeps deleting it all for being an unrecognized program, would be great if I could build this into my program to exclude the files as such.

I have accidentally removed all the permissions even administrator permission. Can retrieve it by power shell?

Nice video. Thanks. Is there a shortcut to that? Like Linux chmod? A 12 lines script looks really bloated comparing to e.g. chmod 0755 Cat.txt

I am receiving so many requests for giving access to folders,

2- if one user wants read only permission for the folder access then I have to add the user to a security group having read only permission in the folder, as user wants the read permission on that folder.

A - First If a user wants read only access in a folder then, I need to search if there is any read only group present in the security group for folder access.

B- if read only group is present there then I will add the user in that group .

C- there is 4 to 5 security groups having read permission is there, I can add the user in any read only group except ‘ administrator and local group ‘

D- if there is not any group having read permission doesn’t exist then I will create a ad group and add the group in the folder by giving read permission access and add the user into this group .

Ps- I will run this script after connecting to another remote computer .
