Inheritance of Permissions Powershell Script

I am trying to create a script that will pass down inheritance of the subfolder.

For example:

C:/template has x y z permissions
C:/template/test only has x permissions

I want all sub folders and files from C:/template to get the x y z permissions.

Something similar to the script here that Robert Prust made (it does not execute):

$ACL = Get-Acl -Path C:\Template
$Folders = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path "C:\new_perm" -Filter 'Subfolder*' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName
foreach ($Folder in $Folders) {
   # write the variables found - check if the folder path is correct
   # Write-Output "This foldername is $Folder"
   # convert foldername to a icacls approved path
   $icacls = "$Folder\*"
   # check if the icacls path is correct
   # Write-Output "icacls path is $icacls"
   #set the ACL required on the folder
   Set-ACL -Path $Folder -AclObject $ACL
   # replace all child permissions for the folder
   icacls $icacls /q /c /t /reset
}

Thanks,

Jonathan

Just run icacls "C:\template\*" /q /c /t /reset. It doesn't get simpler than that.
