About this tag
The ACL tag on WindowsForum.com covers access control list issues in Windows and enterprise environments. Discussions include a Galaxy Connect bug causing C: drive access denied on Windows 11, an MSMQ patch regression where security hardening removed write access for service accounts, and safe methods to view WindowsApps folders without altering ACLs. Other topics involve Redis Lua scripting ACL bypass vulnerabilities, OT network hygiene for Siemens RUGGEDCOM, and Modicon M340 file exposure risks. NetApp connector for Microsoft 365 Copilot also touches on preserving item-level security. Common themes are troubleshooting access denied errors, understanding NTFS permissions, and applying security patches that affect ACL behavior.
