Stop bash script when find gets to a folder with permission denied

Question

How can I stop script when command "find" gets to a folder with permission denied.

I make a list of all folders in my PC.

I would like to stop the searching process when "find" finds a permission denied folder.

DIRS=$(find . -type d)

Thanks a lot

Can't test this now, but you should check with exec if the folder is executable.

Something like

find -type d -print0 -not -exec test -x '{}' \; -quit
