How can I view the permissions a user has on a file from the command line?

A. A. A utility is supplied with the resource kit called perms.exe which can be used to view permissions on files/directories. The usage is

perms <domain>\<user> <file>
e.g. perms savilltech\savillj d:\file\john\file.dat

You can add /s to also show details of sub files/directories. The permissions shown equate to

R	Read
W	Write
X	Execute
D	Delete
P	Change Permission
O	Take Ownership
A	All
None	No Access
*	User is the owner
#	A group the member is a member of owns the file
?	Permissions cannot be determined

To output to a file just add > filename.txt at the end, e.g.

perms <user> <file> > file.txt
