Creating a folder via PowerShell with permissions

Question

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for helping!

I currently have a setup where our companies CRM and SharePoint instance are integrated. I would like SharePoint to be able to detect when a new folder is created in the CRM site and then create a folder structure under that with specific permissions for each folder.

I have been able to create the folder list just using a workflow, however I am unable to assign permissions to the folders. I believe that the best way to do it would be to call a PowerShell script instead.

Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this? If so, could you please point me in the right direction?

Regards

Luke

Hi Luke,

Per my understanding, you want to assign permissions to folders using PowerShell.

Here are two code demos in the links below would be helpful:
