    Re: Traverse a folder without permission?


    So I've got the same issue but am having problems determining how to fix
    it from the discussion on this website. In my environment I have several
    volumes that are shared (you go to \\server and you can see several
    shared folders). If you double-click on any of the folders you can see
    (ex:\\server\folder1), you are given "access denied". If you browse to
    \\server\folder1\staff\userid, you have full rights and are able to
    browse the directory.

    PROBLEM 1:
    Our "Bypass traverse checking" options are set to defaults. We are
    running Windows 2003 R2 servers with a 2003 functional level. We have
    NOT given users traverse rights to folder1, or staff, but want them to
    be able to browse to the folders they have rights to by simply
    double-clicking thru to them.

    PROBLEM 2:
    With Novell, our users were able to traverse the folders down to the
    folders they had full access to without having to set any specific
    permissions. ALSO (and this is what I'd like to do with Windows), when
    they browsed to \\server, they were only able to see folder1, and folder
    2 IF they had rights to a folder inside of folder1 or folder2. And then
    they were only able to see the folders that led them to the folder they
    did have full access to (ie: usera was only able to see
    \\server\folder1\staff\userid, and NOT
    \\server\folder1\staff\otherusersids). Is this even possible in a
    windows environment?

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Ben

    List Folders will enable people to navigate through the tree.
    Traverse is the right to pass-through to the destination, without the right
    to read anything (including folder name)

    Thanks for the quick response! I was actually (and just found out) that
    I was looking for "Access-based Enumeration". I just need to read up on
    how to set it up. Any Idea's?
