Syntax

Grant-SPObjectSecurity

Description

The Grant-SPObjectSecurity cmdlet adds a new security principal, such as a user, to a SPObjectSecurity object. An SPObjectSecurity object is a common object that is used to represent the security access control list (ACL) of SharePoint administrative objects, in particular, service applications.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.

Examples

------------------EXAMPLE------------------

$principal = New-SPClaimsPrincipal "CONTOSO\JaneDoe" -IdentityType WindowsSamAccountName 
$sa = Get-SPServiceApplication | ?{$_.TypeName -eq 'User Profile Service Application'}
$security = Get-SPServiceApplicationSecurity $sa -Admin
Grant-SPObjectSecurity $security $principal "Full Control"
Set-SPServiceApplicationSecurity $sa -Admin $security

This example retrieves the SPObjectSecurity object corresponding to the administrator ACL on the User Profile Service Application and adds a new user principal to that ACL.

The new user is an administrator for the service application $serviceApp.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
