win_acl_inheritance - Change ACL inheritance

New in version 2.1.

Synopsis

  • Change ACL (Access Control List) inheritance and optionally copy inherited ACE’s (Access Control Entry) to dedicated ACE’s or vice versa.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
path
 yes
Path to be used for changing inheritance
reorganize
 no
  • False
  • True
For P(state) = absent, indicates if the inherited ACE's should be copied from the parent directory. This is necessary (in combination with removal) for a simple ACL instead of using multiple ACE deny entries.
For P(state) = present, indicates if the inherited ACE's should be deduplicated compared to the parent directory. This removes complexity of the ACL structure.
state
 no absent
  • present
  • absent
Specify whether to enable present or disable absent ACL inheritance

  win_acl_inheritance:
    path: C:\apache
    state: absent

- name: Disable and copy inherited ACE's
  win_acl_inheritance:
    path: C:\apache

- name: Enable and remove dedicated ACE's
