Powershell & IIS 7.5 FTP virtualdirectories

situation:

-mainftp
   -usera (virtual folder)
   -userb (virtual folder)
   -userc (virtual folder)

when these folders beeing created manually, can change default allow rule(configured on mainftp) read read,write
there 1 rule, after doing so

now when try in powershel looks bit diffrent...

creating virtual directory:

 

  import-module webadministration  new-item 'iis:\sites\mainftp\usera' -type virtualdirectory -physicalpath c:\temp  

now can see allow rule read, because it´s default.

what set read, write i´m trying this:

set-webconfiguration -filter /system.ftpserver/security/authorization -value (@{accesstype="allow"; users="*"; permissions="read, write"}) -pspath iis: -location "mainftp/usera"

but throws error key missing.... don´t know which? anyone? idea?

 

what tried set adding new rule:

  add-webconfiguration -filter /system.ftpserver/security/authorization -value (@{accesstype="allow"; users="*"; permissions="read, write"}) -pspath iis: -location "mainftp/usera"  

that worked have 2 allow-rules 1 read , 1 read,write....

 

my question is.

has idea on how can "set"-option working?
or have better way? maybe using api?

i worked out , guess what, doesn´t create additional rule modifies existing 1 in gui, seems using set-webconfiguration somehow doesn´t work.

@ms bug? or unwanted feature?
