Stands for Integrity Control Access Control List.[ citation needed] Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and later include icacls, an in-box command-line utility that can display, modify, backup and restore ACLs for files and folders, as well as to set integrity levels and ownership in Vista and later versions.

Xcacls.vbs is an unsupported tool that provides additional capabilities not provided with the supported utility, Xcacls.exe.
