Here's How to Fix PowerShell Export-CSV Access to the Path Is Denied.

And here're the details you may read and/or follow:

If you encounter the error "Export-CSV Access to the path is denied" when trying to export data using PowerShell's Export-CSV cmdlet, it means that the account running the PowerShell script does not have the required permissions to write to the specified path.

Here are some steps you can take to fix this issue:

1. Check the path: Ensure that the path specified in the Export-CSV cmdlet is correct and exists. If the path is incorrect or does not exist, you will not be able to write to it.

2. Check permissions: Verify that the account running the PowerShell script has the required permissions to write to the specified path. To do this, right-click on the folder that you are trying to write to, select "Properties" and go to the "Security" tab. Check that the account has "Write" permissions.

3. Run PowerShell as Administrator: If the account does not have sufficient permissions, try running PowerShell as an administrator. Right-click on the PowerShell icon and select "Run as administrator".

4. Use a different path: If none of the above steps work, try exporting the data to a different path that the account has permission to write to.

And here's an example of using Export-CSV with a specific path and how to set the permission:

# Example Export-CSV command
Get-Process | Export-CSV C:\temp\processes.csv

# Setting permission to folder for all users
icacls C:\temp /grant Users:(OI)(CI)F /T

Note: the icacls command will grant permission to all users. You should be cautious when setting file/folder permission, especially if the device is shared or connected to a network.
