ICACLS not working from PowerShell

I created a BAT file that executes this

    C:\Windows\system32\icacls.exe "F:\Users\username" /inheritance:r /T /C /Q

It works fine.
When I copy the command within a PowerShell, I get error messages

C:\Windows\system32\icacls.exe : F:\Users\username\*: Access is denied.
At line:1 char:1
+ C:\Windows\system32\icacls.exe "F:\Users\username" /inheritance:r /T /C /Q
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (F:\Users\username....cess is denied.:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

Is there a better way to do this within PowerShell?
