# Copy permissions and add recursively via Powershell

Usefull when you need to apply the same permissions to all subfolders and items and get error trying to do it via the GUI in Windows.

Run Powershell as admin.

```powershell
$acl = Get-Acl "C:\Path-To-Object-To-Copy-Permissions-From"
$items = Get-ChildItem "D:\Parent-Folder-Containing-All-Objects-To-Apply-Permissions-To" -Recurse
foreach ($i in $items) { Set-Acl -Path $i.FullName -AclObject $acl }
```
