Hi there, I am in trouble with it help desk automation process.

I have to remove all inherited permissions from folder. Is there any alternative way to automate this process easily?

Manually it can be done by doing this step

  1. [Open File Explorer]
  2. Locate the file or folder you want to take disable inherited permissions for.
  3. Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
  4. Click on the Advanced button. The "Advanced Security Settings " window will appear.
  5. Click on the Disable inheritance button.
  6. You will be asked either to convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions or to remove all inherited permissions.
  7. Choose Remove all inherited permissons from this object.

Thank you in advance

Use sytem.Security.AccessControl.FileSecurity

And

sytem.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule

This should solve those
