Get ACL of folder for a specific user

Question

I'm new to Powershell and I need to know how to list all permissions of a folder for a specific user. This is what I have discovered so far:

However, this does not return any value with the Write-Output command. Changing it to Write-Host didn't work as well. Am I missing some crucial parts?

$user = "testumgebung\cbruehwiler"
$path = "T:\"
$list = Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse | Where-Object {(Get-Acl $_.FullName).Access | Where-Object {$_.IdentityReference -eq $user} }
Write-Output $list

This does return a list with folders, where I have access to. But it would be better if I can get a list with all the folders where I have access to and list the permissions I have (read, write, execute, full control).

This is a sample of the list:

Directory: T:\

Mode: d----

LastWriteTime: 17.04.2019 08:25

Name: TestFolder

Here's another alternative. This will store the full output in a list that could be exported to a CSV or similar if wanted.

$User = "testumgebung\cbruehwiler"
$Path = "T:\"
# Generic list object to store output in
$List = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Object]

# Fields we want in list, an array of calculated properties.
$OutputFields = @(
    @{name="Item" ;       expression={$_.Path.split(':',3)[-1]}}
    @{name="Rights" ;     expression={$Right.FileSystemRights}}
    @{name="AccessType" ; expression={$Right.AccessControlType}}
) 
# Store all objects in variable
$FileSystemObjects = Get-ChildItem $Path -Recurse | ForEach-Object {Get-Acl $_.FullName}

# Iterate through every object
foreach ($Item in $FileSystemObjects) {
    # Iterate through every individual user right within each object
    # Add it to our list if it matchers our $User
    foreach ($Right in $Item.Access) {
        if ($Right.IdentityReference -eq $User) {
            $List.Add(($Item | Select-Object $OutputFields))
        }
    }   
}
# Output our list to screen.
$List
