Maybe try specifying explicitly:<br />
<br />
$permission = $accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessCont<wbr />rol.FileSy<wbr />stemAccess<wbr />Rule (&quot;users&quot;,&quot;FullControl&quot;,&quot;Al<wbr />low&quot;)<br />
<br />
Also, in your script, where is $user set?<br />

Maybe try specifying explicitly:

$permission = $accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("users","FullControl","Allow")

Also, in your script, where is $user set?

I'm trying to set ACL via powershell. My script is here:<br />
<br />
$acl = Get-Acl $folder<br />
$permission = &quot;domain\$user&quot;,&quot;FullContro<wbr />l&quot;,&quot;Allow&quot;<wbr /><br />
$accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessCont<wbr />rol.FileSy<wbr />stemAccess<wbr />Rule $permission<br />
$acl.SetAccessRule($access<wbr />Rule)<br />
$acl | Set-Acl $folder<br />
<br />
This $folder variable content is UNC path.<br />
<br />
When I run this script I get error message: <br />
Exception calling &quot;SetAccessRule&quot; with &quot;1&quot; argument(s): &quot;Some or all identity references could not be translated.&quot;<br />
At C:\temp\FTPUser.ps1:50 char:19<br />
+ $acl.SetAccessRule &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&nbsp;($accessRule)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; + CategoryInfo &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;: NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException<br />

What I have done incorrectly?<br />
