Required permissions for scan
Question / Problem
Which access rights / permissions are required to perform a scan on a drive or share?
Answer / Solution
Basically, the user account configured for scanning the scan target (configurable at "Scan > Configure Scans > Expert Settings") requires the permission to list the folders contents and to read the attributes.
On a share additionally read access on the share is necessary.
If you want SpaceObServer to also collect the NTFS permissions ("Scan > Configure Scans > Scan Options"), the permission to read the ACL is needed.
If you want SpaceObServer to also calculate MD5 hashes for the duplicate file search ("Scan > Configure Scans > Scan Options"), the read access for the file content is needed.
