NTFS permission

Question

I want to add a user to NTFS Permission and give full control to a specific folder.

This is the code that I found in internet, but it gives me an error.

Set-ACL -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\TEST" -Account "DESKTOP-R5C0QAA\Bobby" -AccessRights FullControl
Set-Acl : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Account'.
At line:1 char:45
Set-ACL -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\TEST" -Account "DESKTOP-R5C0QAA ...
CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Acl], ParameterBindingException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetAclCommand

as WaiHaLee mentioned, the lack of any hint of what went wrong is ... pretty much a show-stopper. [*grin*] however, the cmdlet you list is NOT installed by default. did you install the module that it comes from? — Lee_Dailey, Apr 18 '19 at 23:34
Probably you will have to install the according module [NTFSSecurity](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/NTFSSecurity/4.2.4) first. You might start with learning the very basics of Powershell first. ;-) — Olaf, Apr 18 '19 at 23:35

Hey Bob, running `get-help set-acl` will tell you the available options for `set-acl` and yoiu'll find it expects a completely different set of parameters. — jessehouwing, Apr 19 '19 at 09:53
