I am trying to set the Directory Permissions for some folders I create to full control. I found where I can do this : it asks for a Domain and User name. I want to know if I can use a group name in the User name field. Is there some variable [] that I can use? Sort of like [LogonUser]?

The Username or Group name that you want to set the permissions for.
This feature may or may not do what you want it to, so you might need to experiment with it.
I wrestled with it for quite a while, then ended up making a custom action that called CACLS on the target system because I could not get the built in mechanism to do what I wanted.
CACLS had much more consistent behavior and was easier to control IMO. For more information on CACLS, open a dos box and type CACLS /?
You can search the forum as well because other people have encountered issues setting permissions.
One last stupid question : If I set the permission on a parent folder do all the subfolders get that same permission or do I have to set it on all the folders seperatly?
