+## Summary
+Managing permissions with PowerShell is only a bit easier than in VBS or the command line as there are no cmdlets for most day-to-day tasks like getting a permission report or adding permission to an item. PowerShell only offers Get-Acl and Set-Acl but everything in between getting and setting the ACL is missing. This module closes the gap.

+Please refer to [How to install](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/wiki/How-to-install) if you have difficulties getting this module installed.
+
+### Documentation
+The cmdlets are yet not documented completely so Get-Help will not show help for all the cmdlets. Providing documentation is planned tough.
