The AccessDeniedExceptions are not a java security mechanism. It is a OS

The only issue is here that the walker should be able to skip or resume walking
in such a scenario. (Itmsounds like this is the problem/question here?)
That's right and I think this question is about the scenario where some
of the file system is not accessible. With Files.walkFileTree then you
provide a FileVisitor that can deal with exceptions and control which
parts of the file tree are visited. The newer walk/find methods don't so
it would require introducing a new API. It's come up before, and is easy
to do, just not clear that we want to introduce yet further variations.
