cacls and icacls are Microsoft Windows native command line utilities capable of displaying and modifying the access control lists (ACLs) on folders and files. An access control list is a list of permissions for securable object, such as a file or folder, that controls who can access it.

The cacls utility is a command line editor of permissions in Windows 2000 and later. Microsoft has produced the following newer utilities all of which offer improvements:
- xcacls.exe[1][2][3]
- xcacls.vbs[4][5]
- fileacl[citation needed]
- icacls (included in Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7)[6][7]
[edit] ICACLS
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 include icacls, a command-line utility that can display, modify, backup and restore ACLs for files and folders, as well as to set mandatory labels of Windows Integrity Control for them. It is not a complete replacement for cacls, however. For example, it cannot be used to hand-code a Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string.[clarification needed]
