How to see named pipe permission from command line on windows

Question

I've got an existing named pipe, say \\.\pipe\my_pipe. How can I, from cmd or powershell, get the ACL/Permissions of the pipe ?

[accesschk](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/accesschk) checks a named pipe when the path is prefixed with "\pipe", e.g. `accesschk -lv \pipe\InitShutdown`. — Eryk Sun, Feb 22 '18 at 09:25

In PowerShell: .\accesschk64.exe \.\pipe<name>

Building an answer based on existing comments is acceptable, but you ought to credit the comment author (in this case [@ErykSun](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48923402/how-to-see-named-pipe-permission-from-command-line-on-windows#comment84853676_48923402)) – Ben Voigt Feb 11 '21 at 22:43

Get-ChildItem \\.\pipe\ | ForEach-Object -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue GetAccessControl

You can also use Get-Member to help you navigate the FileSecurity object:

Get-ChildItem \\.\pipe\ | ForEach-Object -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue GetAccessControl | Get-Member
