Bypass Traverse Checking

By default, when you install Windows NT for the first time, the user right Bypass Traverse Checking is granted to everyone. This right allows a user to change directories through a directory tree even if the user has no permission for those directories.

If you want to run in a POSIX-conforming environment, you must disable this privilege for your account by using either the User Manager or User Manager for Domains tool.

Note You must be an administrator to do this.

To disable the Bypass Traverse Checking right for an account

1. Select the account.
2. From the Policies menu, select User Rights.

   The User Rights Policy dialog box is displayed. Be sure the Show Advanced User Rights check box is marked.
