Enables ACL inheritance on an item.
Enable-AclInheritance [-Path] <String> [-Preserve] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]Items in the registry or file system will usually inherit ACLs from its parent. This inheritance can be disabled, either via Carbon's Protect-Acl function or using .NET's securei API. The Enable-AclInheritance function re-enables inheritance on containers where it has been disabled. By default, any explicit permissions on the item are removed. Use the -Preserve switch to keep any existing, explicit permissions on the item.
This function is paired with Disable-AclInheritance.
This function was added in Carbon 2.4.
