Ai/docs alignment (#91)
* chore: initialize the memory bank
Add the canonical .memory-bank base with evidence-based project context:
purpose and scope, workflows, stack and validation commands, architecture
map, decisions, and the open work found while documenting the cmdlets.

* docs: align documentation with the cmdlet source
- Fill all 36 platyPS cmdlet pages from the C# source: synopsis,
description, parameters, defaults, examples, inputs, outputs, and
notes, including documented limitations of the current code
- Check every example against live parameter metadata and run them in a
sandbox; fix examples that did not work (CSV restore, account filter,
recursive inheritance, -AccessRights typos)
- Rewrite the home, concepts, examples, README, and contributor pages;
add a grouped cmdlet overview, module settings, privileges, long paths,
and the platyPS workflow
- Document Remove-Item2 -PassThru as renamed after 4.2.6 (#64)
- Fix mkdocs.yml navigation, edit_uri, and copyright markup; add
build.os and a pinned MkDocs version for Read the Docs
- Point online help links to the pages on GitHub; add CHANGELOG.md

* ci: build the module and check the docs against the build
The documentation check ran Update-MarkdownHelp against the NTFSSecurity
release from the PowerShell Gallery (4.2.6), so it failed for every
unreleased parameter change. PR #91 failed because 4.2.6 still has
Remove-Item2 -PassThur while the source and the docs have -PassThru.
- Build NTFSSecurity.csproj in Release on the Visual Studio 2022 image,
using the .NET Framework 4.5.2 reference assemblies package instead of
an installed targeting pack
- Check Docs/Cmdlets against the module built from source
- Pin platyPS 0.14.2 and MarkdownLinkCheck 0.2.0, and enable TLS 1.2 so
the NuGet provider bootstrap works

PowerShell offers only `Get-Acl` and `Set-Acl`; everything between reading
|
|
|
|
|
and writing an access control list is up to you. NTFSSecurity closes this gap
|
|
|
|
|
with cmdlets for everyday tasks, such as permission reports, adding or
|
|
|
|
|
removing a single permission, repairing inheritance, and taking ownership.

You can also download a release from the
|
|
|
|
|
[releases page](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/releases). If you
|
|
|
|
|
have trouble, see
|
|

|
|
[How to install](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/wiki/How-to-install).
|

The module runs on Windows in Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
|
|
|
# Show the permissions of a folder
|
|
|
|
|
Get-NTFSAccess -Path C:\Data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Give an account the Modify permission on a folder, its subfolders, and files
|
|
|
|
|
Add-NTFSAccess -Path C:\Data -Account 'CONTOSO\JohnDoe' -AccessRights Modify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Remove the explicit permissions of that account again
|
|
|
|
|
Get-NTFSAccess -Path C:\Data -Account 'CONTOSO\JohnDoe' -ExcludeInherited |
|
|
|
|
|
Remove-NTFSAccess
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# List the explicit permissions in a folder tree, including long paths
|
|
|
|
|
Get-ChildItem2 -Path C:\Data -Recurse | Get-NTFSAccess -ExcludeInherited
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Overview](Docs/index.md): features, requirements, and the list of cmdlets
|
|
|
|
|
- [Concepts](Docs/Concepts.md): security descriptors, access rights,
|
|
|
|
|
inheritance, privileges, long paths, and module settings
|
|
|
|
|
- [Examples](Docs/Examples.md): common tasks
|
|
|
|
|
- [Cmdlet reference](Docs/Cmdlets): one page per cmdlet
|
|
|
|
|
- [Contributor guide](Docs/Contributing.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The module author's tutorials from 2014 are still a good introduction,

|
|
|
|
