This is how I would do it but I'm OCD:

begin {
  $date = Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMddhhmm'
  Start-Transcript -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\DoPermisssionsTranscript_$date" -Force
  function Do-Permissions {
    param( $permissionGroup, $folder, $level)
    $toAdd = $permissionGroup -split ";"
    Write-Host $folder
    foreach ($item in $toAdd) {
        $acl = (Get-Item $folder).GetAccessControl('Access')
        $ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($item, $level, 'ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit','None','Allow')
        $acl.SetAccessRule($ar)
        Set-ACL -path $folder -AclObject $acl
    }
  }
  
  function Create-MySharedFolders {
    foreach ($folder in (Import-Csv d:\file.csv)) {
      $fullPath = $folder.folder #$path + $folder.folder
      if (!(Test-Path $fullPath)) {
        New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $fullPath
        $fAcl = Get-Acl -Path $fullPath
        $fAcl.SetAccessRuleProtection($true, $true)
        Set-Acl -Path $fullPath -AclObject $fAcl
      }

      if ($folder.full_control) {DoPermissions $folder.full_control $fullPath "FullControl"}
      if ($folder.modify) {DoPermissions $folder.modify $fullPath "Modify"}
      if ($folder.read_execute) {DoPermissions $folder.read_execute $fullPath "ExecuteFile"}
      if ($folder.list_folder_content) {DoPermissions $folder.list_folder_content $fullPath "ListDirectory"}

Watch the function names Jason, DoPermissions / Do-Permissions.

OCD... you've no idea :-D

You updated the command name DoPermissions -> Do-Permissions. Which would have been fine, but you've left calls to the function using the old name in the if statement block. 'tis easy enough to fix, but a gotcha.

Crap

$create gets the contents of the csv file

folder is included in the csv file.

The place where you obtained this script has to include a sample of the .csv file.

Folder,full_control,modify,read_execute,list_folder,read,write
C:\somefolder,0,0,1,1,1,0
C:\another,1,0,0,0,0,0


At least I think I read the things...

Yes absolutely a UNC path works just fine.  I just like using environment variables to avoid non-existent paths.
