Remove-ADPermission

The AccessRights parameter specifies the rights that you want to remove from the user on the Active Directory object. Valid values include:

• CreateChild
• DeleteChild
• ListChildren
• Self
• ReadProperty
• WriteProperty
• DeleteTree
• ListObject
• ExtendedRight
• Delete
• ReadControl
• GenericExecute
• GenericWrite
• GenericRead
• WriteDacl
• WriteOwner
• GenericAll
• Synchronize
• AccessSystemSecurity

You can specify multiple values separated by commas.

The ChildObjectTypes parameter specifies what type of object the permission should be removed from.

The ChildObjectTypes parameter can only be used if the AccessRights parameter is set to CreateChild or DeleteChild.

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

• Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
• Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

The Deny switch specifies that the permissions you're removing are Deny permissions. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The DomainController parameter isn't supported on Edge Transport servers. An Edge Transport server uses the local instance of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to read and write data.

The ExtendedRights parameter specifies the extended rights to remove.

The Identity parameter specifies the object from which the permission should be removed.

You can specify either the distinguished name (DN) of the object or the object's name if it's unique. If the DN or name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (").

The InheritanceType parameter specifies how permissions are inherited. Valid values are:

• None
• All (this is the default value)
• Children
• Descendents [sic]
• SelfAndChildren

The InheritedObjectType parameter specifies what kind of object inherits this access control entry (ACE).

The Instance parameter enables you to pass an entire object to the command to be processed. It's mainly used in scripts where an entire object must be passed to the command.

The Properties parameter specifies what properties the object contains.

The Properties parameter can only be used if the AccessRights parameter is set to ReadProperty, WriteProperty, or Self.

The User parameter specifies whose permissions are being removed from the Active Directory object. You can specify the following types of users or groups:

• Mailbox users
• Mail users
• Security groups

For the best results, we recommend using the following values:

• UPN: For example, user@contoso.com (users only).
• Domain\SamAccountName: For example, contoso\user.

Otherwise, you can use any value that uniquely identifies the user or group. For example:

• Name
• Alias
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Canonical DN
• Domain\Username
• Email address
• GUID
• LegacyExchangeDN
• SamAccountName
• User ID or user principal name (UPN)

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
