I am having this below code where I am trying to remove and then provide Modify and write access to the Authenticated User for D:\ drive

$systemDrives = Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem | where {($_.Name -eq "D")}
foreach($driveLetter in $systemDrives)
{
$path = $driveLetter.Root
icacls $path /remove "Authenticated Users"
icacls $path /grant "Authenticated Users:M,W"

}

the /remove part is removing the authenticated user from the drive but when I am doing /grant, it is creating the user back but not assigning the permissions.

Please let me know what I am missing here

Try : icacls $path /grant "Authenticated Users:($driveLetter,W)" – jdweng Aug 22 '23 at 14:33
@jdweng: same issue. it is not assigning the permission – snehasish nandy Aug 22 '23 at 14:41
Are you running script As Admin? Right click PS shortcut and select Run As Admin. – jdweng Aug 22 '23 at 14:45
@jdweng: Yes. executing as admin itself – snehasish nandy Aug 22 '23 at 15:03
Verify you can write to folders. Use File Explorer an manually create a file. – jdweng Aug 22 '23 at 18:18
@jdweng: yes I have admin access to the server. so can write in folder. verified that – snehasish nandy Aug 23 '23 at 10:02
How are you verifying the permissions did not change? See following : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38725364/icacls-permissions-not-applying-as-i-expect – jdweng Aug 23 '23 at 12:13
