I have no idea what any of this means, but here you go.
```
$ icacls .ssh
.ssh XXX\myusername:(F)
XXX\Domain Users:(Rc,S,RA)
Everyone:(Rc,S,RA)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(Rc,S,RA)
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
CREATOR GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)(Rc,S,RA)
Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)(Rc,S,RA)
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
