Display NTFS permissions list with option to print & export

Hello,
Not sure how many people ran into this, but I constantly have to check NTFS permissions of shared folders and windows explorer doesn't have any way to export/print them. Also, the security tab window is so small that taking a screenshot doesn't work well if there are more than 15 lines or so. In addition to printing, having the option to save to tab delimited TXT or CSV would be amazing.
Please let me know what you think?
TIA

Iirc nothing that XY can provide by itself. You could either call e.g. cacls.exe in a XY script and format the output as you like or you call e.g. a VBscript like

@highend: thanks for that idea but I mainly need to save NTFS permissions of the current folder.
Isn't there a way that XYplorer can grab that info from Windows? A simple two column output (Member Name and Type of access) with a folder path as the Title would be sufficient. I have never used XY's scripts so if someone already has something similar and could share, I would be very thankful.

You still need cacls / icacls (for modern OS'es) to get access lists for a ntfs file system.
A custom column script could look like this:
Code: Select all
$ccPath = substr("<cc_path>", 0, -1);
return trim(regexreplace(regexreplace(replace(runret("cmd /c icacls ""$ccPath"""), "$ccPath"), "\r?\n\s*", "||"), "(^|\|\|)\s*", " || "), " ||");

Thanks highend!
How does this script integrate with XYplorer? Is it possible to select a folder and with a toolbar button run the script on that particular folder and automatically display the generated CSV?

It's a script for a custom column^^
Selecting a folder and output it's ACLs
Code: Select all
if (exists("<curitem>") == 2) { text runret("cmd /c cacls ""<curitem>"""); }
This could be used on a toolbar button.
CSV separated? Show a real world example of how things should be separated...

I just tried the last script and it's working nicely except I would have to adjust some formatting to improve it visually.
Would it be possible to add this option in the report tab?:

And I've asked how exactly it should be formatted...

I was thinking similar to the way Windows displays it:
I know it's asking too much, but is there a way to directly write to XLSX?
