Use Directory Tool to Get File/Folder Attributes

[patrick_mcauliffe]

I really like the Directory tool.  Its very handy, especially in combination with the Dynamic Input.

But... I'd like to see other object (files and folders) attributes, like object level security (who has read, write, full, etc), last user to access, and user that created.

was this ever solved?

@ljholbroo no, this has not been implemented.

@patrick_mcauliffe 100% agree, folders in particular would be great. Having to use command line or a script to solve this definitely takes away from the low/code no/code Alteryx vibe.
