Get‑NTFSItemSecurityDescriptor

SYNOPSIS

Gets portable NTFS security descriptors.

SYNTAX

Path (Default)

Get-NTFSItemSecurityDescriptor [[-Path] <String[]>] [-Sections <AccessControlSections>]
 [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

LiteralPath

Get-NTFSItemSecurityDescriptor -LiteralPath <String[]> [-Sections <AccessControlSections>]
