Network scan access rights

Question / Problem

Which access rights / permissions does a person require to perform a scan on a drive or share?

Answer / Solution

Basically a user requires the right to list the folders contents and to read the attributes. On a share additionally read access on the share is necessary.

However, being a member of the Administrators group is sufficient for TreeSize to scan the whole disk on a standard Windows network/installation.

If access in Windows Explorer is working, a scan with Treesize should work too.
