About SetACL Studio

SetACL Studio combines an intuitive user interface with the power of SetACL into a permission management tool that works with the file system, the registry, printers, services, shares and WMI objects. It supports very long paths (the kind Explorer cannot handle) and shows you every corner of the system, regardless of current permissions.

Different from most systems management tools, SetACL Studio is extremely easy to use, has a great UI and comes with undo.
