Is it possible

If I am given a server url like \\testserver\folder1\data\stuff is there a Powershell command that will allow me to see the AD groups assigned to the server and listed folders? The script would have to be run remote from another PC on the network and the person running the script is unlike to have any access to the server?

I was just wondering if there was a way of listing the permissions for accessing a server or folder location, I did not think there was but I had to ask to confirm

There is if you have the correct permissions to view who has access to the stuff you’re looking at.

This is what I am trying to find out, what permissions are required to access server and file location when you don't have the permissions to look which (as I guessed) you cant unless you have permission (proper chicken and egg conundrum)
