How to check if SharePoint List inherits permissions from its Parent site?

I know to BreakRoleInhertance() or to ResetRoleInheritance() to break /reset permissions from the Parent site.
However, how do we check if the list inherits permissions in the first place?


Thanks,
Venky.

I just moved this question over to the PowerShell and SharePoint forum so that it gets the attention of the appropriate subject matter experts for SharePoint and PowerShell. They should be able to help you out better over there.

Here’s how I found the answer to this one:

[script=powershell]$web = get-spweb http://team.contoso.com
$list = $web.lists["Announcements"]
$list | get-member | where-object { $.name -like "role" }[/script]

I got this list of methods and properties:
[script=powershell]PS C:> $list | Get-Member | Where-Object { $.name -like "role" }


TypeName: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPDocumentLibrary

Name MemberType Definition

ResetRoleInheritance Method System.Void ResetRoleInheritance()

Looks like HasUniqueRoleAssignments is what you’re looking for.
