Please log in for more thread options Coming from a Netware environment where this behavior is automatic, in
certain folders, users now see 50 folders inside a folder where they might
have access to only 2 folders. So, other than potential security problems,
it affects usability. We keep fielding help desk calls about people who can
"get to everything". They don't understand that they can't actually open
everything, but they assume that if they can see it, they can open it.
