- Thanks Rob,
I think this should work, but unfortunately PowerShell ISE crashes after a few minutes.
The DocLib has over 6000 items, maybe that is the reason.
I'd like to limit the script to items with broken inheritances instead of the full DocLib to maybe work around the crash.
Can you help me incorporate this information into the script?

It resets the permissions for every item. If you want to check only the ones with unique permissions, add an if condition to check for HasUniqueRoleAssignments property.
A very good explanation on how to load the values for the property is available here:

I switched over to the PowerShell console available through Visual Studio Code and have not had any crashes since. https://code.visualstudio.com/
- Thanks for the tip! This seems to way more stable for this operation.
