#region Restore-ACLOperation.ps1 - Core ACL Restoration Module
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Core ACL restoration and manipulation functions for restore operations.
 
.DESCRIPTION
    This module provides focused ACL restoration functionality including:
    - Direct ACL application to Active Directory objects
    - Target object verification and validation
    - Restoration success confirmation and verification
    - SDDL conversion and security descriptor manipulation
 
    This module handles the core security operations for ACL restoration,
    working with validated backup data to apply permissions safely.

    Module: Find-UnknownSID.RestoreOperations
    Dependencies: ActiveDirectory module, validated backup data
    Version: 2.1.0
 
    SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
    - Requires appropriate Active Directory permissions
    - Validates target object existence before modification
    - Confirms restoration success through verification
    - Logs all ACL modification operations for audit compliance
#>

function Set-ObjectACL {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Applies ACL settings to Active Directory objects from validated backup data.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Core function for applying Access Control Lists to Active Directory objects
        using validated backup data. Handles proper security descriptor conversion,
        application, and verification of successful ACL restoration.
 
        This function performs the actual ACL modification operations and should
        only be called with validated backup data from the Test-BackupValidation module.
 
        BUSINESS VALUE:
        - Enables precise ACL restoration for disaster recovery
        - Provides granular control over permission restoration
        - Ensures secure and validated ACL application
        - Supports compliance requirements for change management
 
    .PARAMETER TargetObjectDN
        Distinguished name of the target Active Directory object for ACL application.
        Object must exist and be accessible for ACL modification.
 
    .PARAMETER BackupData
        Validated backup data containing SDDL and metadata for restoration.
        Must be validated using Test-BackupIntegrity before use.
 
    .PARAMETER VerifyApplication
        Whether to verify successful ACL application after setting.
        Recommended for critical operations requiring confirmation.
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        Shows what ACL changes would be applied without making modifications.
        Useful for validation and approval workflows.
 
    .PARAMETER CorrelationId
        Unique identifier for tracking this ACL operation across logs.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS> Set-ObjectACL -TargetObjectDN "CN=TestUser,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com" -BackupData $validatedBackup
 
        DESCRIPTION: Applies ACL from validated backup to target user object
        OUTPUT: ACLOperationResult with success status and details
        USE CASE: Direct ACL restoration for specific object
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS> Set-ObjectACL -TargetObjectDN $dn -BackupData $backup -VerifyApplication -WhatIf
 
        DESCRIPTION: Preview ACL application with verification enabled
        OUTPUT: Shows what would be applied and verification results
        USE CASE: Pre-validation for critical ACL changes
 
    .INPUTS
        [string] TargetObjectDN from pipeline
        [PSCustomObject] Validated backup data
 
    .OUTPUTS
        [PSCustomObject] ACLOperationResult with properties:
        - Success: Boolean indicating operation success
        - TargetObjectDN: DN of the modified object
        - ModificationsApplied: Number of ACL entries applied
        - VerificationResult: Optional verification outcome
        - Duration: Time taken for the operation
        - CorrelationId: Tracking identifier

        PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
        - Average ACL application: 50-100ms per object
        - Verification adds 20-30ms overhead
        - Memory usage: ~1MB per concurrent operation
 
        SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
        - Requires Modify Permissions permission on target object
        - Validates SDDL format before application
        - Logs all ACL modifications for audit compliance
        - Confirms target object existence before modification
 
        TROUBLESHOOTING:
        - For permission errors: .\Troubleshooting\Security\Permission-Issues.md
        - For SDDL format issues: .\Troubleshooting\Common\Backup-Restore-Issues.md
        - For verification failures: .\Troubleshooting\Common\Backup-Restore-Issues.md
