[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] non-visible folders

[Adam Marshall]

Your method trumps ours for ease of use. It would be great to have it in 2.10 (should there be such a thing).

> against all the roles that you want to be able to view the contents of the
> folder (B). Files can now be placed in folder B.
> 
>     Folder A will now appear greyed out to maintainer & contribute role but
> can still be clicked on. Other roles will not see if unless explicitly given
> permission to do so. Folder B is technically visible to all but as
> non-maintainers cannot enter folder A, they will never see folder B (but
> they will be able to access its contents if given the appropriate URL).
