7.1.6 Access-Based Enumeration 

Access-based enumeration is a share-level option that restricts the display of files and folders based on the access privileges of the user attempting to view them. Without access-based enumeration, all users are able to view all files and folders within a directory to which they have access. However they will not be able to open or view these files and folders without the appropriate access privileges. When access-based enumeration is enabled on a share, users will only be able to see files or folders for which they have at read access or above. For example, without access-based enumeration a user without access to several files would still be able to see that those files exist in a directory to which they have access. However with access-based enumeration, that same user would not even see those same inaccessible files in the directory. Administrator users are always able to see all files and folders, even when access-based enumeration is enabled on a share.
