Command Line (Cmd. Exe): How to Extract Folder's Security Settings

I'd like to know whether it exist a command to show security settings (group names / level of access not necessary needed) of the folder. I tried to google but no success :D

Thank You all in advance.

You can use the cacls, icacls, xcacls, or subinacl commands in Windows to get or set access controls for files and folders.

There is AccessEnum from Microsoft Windows SysInternals. It isnt command line based, but it sounds like what you are looking for.

AccessEnum gives you a full view of your file system and Registry security settings in seconds, making it the ideal tool for helping you for security holes and lock down permissions where necessary
