Here’s a sample  – granting rw access to the user group IIS_IUSRS

Direct Powershell cmd

icacls "$initFolder" "/grant:r" "BUILTIN\IIS_IUSRS:(OI)(CI)RX" /t

Or – using Invoke-Expression

$Grant = “grant:rw”
$users = “BUILTIN\IIS_IUSRS”
$permission = “:(OI)(CI)(F) /T”

Invoke-Expression -Command (‘icacls $initFolder $Grant “${$users}${$permission}”’)

Summary

icacls has weird syntax. Powershell, though less weird, has it’s own quirks. Getting this to work took me a while…Hope it helps you somewhat.
