I know how to find out what users have what permissions to any given file or folder, but is there a way to find out all of the files and/or folders that a specific user has permissions to?

Here is what I found to trace permissions.

This has to be run at the root of each server to find the permissions assigned to each directory. I use wingrep to find the parent entries among the returned list

-- this command finds every directory where domain\username has permisions, and only the domain\username pace is returned
subinacl /noverbose /testmode /subdirectories=directoriesonly *.* /noverbose /findsid=domain\username

Note: Flags=0x3 means parent
Flags=0x13 equals an inherited entry
