smbcacls Command Examples

View and manipulate Windows ACLs on SMB shares. Part of the Samba suite. More information: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smbcacls.1.html.

• Display the ACLs for a file or directory on a remote SMB share:

smbcacls //{{server}}/{{share}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}} --user {{domain\\username}}%{{password}}

• Set a new ACL for a file on a remote SMB share (replace "ACL:..." with a valid Windows ACL specification):

smbcacls //{{server}}/{{share}} {{path/to/file}} --user {{domain\\username}}%{{password}} "ACL:{{DACL}}"

• Remove all existing ACL entries and set a new ACL:

smbcacls //{{server}}/{{share}} {{path/to/file}} --user {{domain\\username}}%{{password}} "RESET" "ACL:{{DACL}}"

• Specify an alternative workgroup (or domain) and have the program prompt for a password interactively:

smbcacls //{{server}}/{{share}} {{path/to/file}} --user {{username}} --workgroup {{workgroup}}
