Let me show you how to use Powershell Script to create folder and subfolder with different permission access from a Array variable with the graphic interface. We will use Get-ChildItem and foreach to list in a drop down menu the network folder list. We will also use system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemaccessrule and SetAccessRule for the folders permissions.
