    Hi,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.

    To learn about Folder Redirection, we can start from the articles below:

    Hi,

    By default, only the owner of the redirected folder has permission to access the folder. It means that even administrator cannot access it. We might need to manually modify NTFS Permissions.

    I suggest we check the article below:

    Security Considerations when Configuring Folder Redirection

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775853(v=ws.10).aspx

    And here is another article for your reference:

    How to dynamically create security-enhanced redirected folders by using folder redirection in Windows 2000 and in Windows Server 2003
