Powershell 3.0 - Add Group/Username and Enable Full Control permissions

I am needing a script to add in a user. Let's say everyone into the security properties of a directory.

Directory: C:\CBASYNC
User: Everyone
Permissions needed: Full Control

How would I write this out in powershell?

This creates and adds the access control entry.

$acl = Get-Acl "C:\CBASYNC"
$accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(
    'Everyone',
    'FullControl',
    'ObjectInherit,ContainerInherit',
    'None',
    'Allow'
)
$acl.AddAccessRule($accessRule)
Set-Acl "C:\CBASYNC" -AclObject $acl
