Thanks for getting back to me, Arnold!<br />
<br />
I have looked at the link but it doesn't tell me how to actually save the acl as something I can use at a later point. The moment I close the window those variables and the ACLs saved in them will be gone.

Thanks Shaun, this looks promising! I will review and test it and see how it goes.

Thank you for giving me the options and setting me on the right path.In the end I using get-acl and psobject to format the output into a csv, which now can then be used as an input to a set-acl script. The advantage of this is that I get I don't lose the variable when I close powershell, and also has the added benefit that I can review and change the permissions in excel before I set them. <br />

Thanks you for all your help!
