title: How to set Windows Services permissions from Powershell?
body: <p>I need to grant a specific account <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms685981(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SERVICE_START permissions</a> for a given Windows service.</p>
  
  <p>There seems to be some methods for doing so <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;288129" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but would prefer a method that's native to PowerShell and doesn't require external tools, for ex. by using Get/Set-ACL cmdlets, or calling some .NET API.</p>
  
  <p>Does someone know how to do it in that fashion? Thanks in advance.</p>
