Traverse Folder is applied only to folders and allows a user to move (or
denies a user from moving) through folders even when the user has no permissions
set on the traversed folder (the folder that the user is moving
through). For example, a user might not have permissions set on a folder
named Sales, but might have permission to access a subfolder named Brochures
that is in the Sales folder. If allowed the Traverse Folder permission,
the user could access the Brochures folder. The Traverse Folder permission
has no affect on users for whom the Bypass Traverse Checking user right is
assigned.
