Muxing AccessControl and FileInfo objects

Most of us know the members (partially printed at bottom) of System.Security.AccessControl and System.IO.FileInfo. And most of us know they both share the PS* NoteProperty items:

• PSChildName                     NoteProperty   System.String PSChildName=test.txt
• PSDrive                         NoteProperty   System.Management.Automation.PSDriveInfo PSDrive=C
• PSParentPath                    NoteProperty   System.String PSParentPath=Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\
• PSPath                          NoteProperty   System.String PSPath=Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\test.txt
• PSProvider                      NoteProperty  

These 'NoteProperty' may be what makes co-operation between 'get-childitem' (alias 'ls' or 'gci') and 'get-acl'  straightforward:
[gci * | get-acl]

However, this produces a System.Security.AccessControl object only. What if you need to see both FileInfo properties and AccessControl properties in the same object?  For this we will have to do something more clever. Calculated Properties help us mux AccessControl and FileInfo objects into one, giving us an output of all files with their AccessControl information sorted by LastAccessTime. This is easier to do because AccessControl and FileInfo objects share the 'PSChildName' NoteProperty which acts here as a type of primary key:

function Check-RecentAccess {
[CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
        [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
           [int]$days=1
    )
$StartTime = (get-date) - (new-timespan -days $days)
$List=gci * | where {!$_.psiscontainer}
$Query= foreach ($i in $List) { gci $i |Select FullName,*Time, @{Label="Access";Expression={get-acl $_.PSChildName | % {$_.AccessToString}}}, @{Label="Owner";Expression={get-acl $_.PSChildName| % {$_.Owner}}}}
$Query | Select LastAccessTime,CreationTime,FullName,Owner,Access| where {$_.LastAccessTime -gt $StartTime} |Sort -descending LastAccessTime
}
