I need to know how to set folder permissions on a newly created folder. I want to have the IIS user able to write to a directory that was created in a previous final builder action.

Hi John,
This functionality is not actually currently available in FinalBuilder. I'll add it to our to-do list to add in a future release.
However, it is possible to accomplish it via a free command-line tool called SetAcl.exe, which can be automated via the Execute Program. Action.
You can get SetAcl from [http://www.helge.mynetcologne.de/setacl](http://www.helge.mynetcologne.de/setacl)
The command line to use should look something like
SetACL "C:\My Dir" /dir /grant /write /read
Hth.
Regards,
Angus

This worked.
