 Description  « Hide

Re the new "hidden" column on the "Permissions" page in Resources
({Folder} -> Actions menu -> Edit Folder Permissions)

We also noticed that under "Edit Details" there is a "Hide this folder and its contents" radio button.

You can hide a folder, AND THEN decide to let certain groups still see it, but grayed out.

* Hiding the folder is what you do in Edit Details.

* Letting groups see hidden folders is what you do by ticking "hidden" in Permissions.

Other subtleties include - I think you can't ever hide a resource you created (it always appears gray to you?), and that in the URL view (where you can browse Resources under /access/content/group/... ), hidden folders seem to ALWAYS show up to everyone??

[Bulk Comment] The Target Version for this issues is being reset to Unknown, as though this issue currently has 2.5.0 listed as a Target Version, it is not likely that further work will be incorporated into the 2.5.0 release at this point, and this issue is still Unresolved. Please update the Target Version when you have a new estimate of when the issue is likely to be addressed.

Harriet, do you have specific wording changes for the current Resources help? (Have a look at the help on nightly2 which is current, http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8082/portal). If so, please send them to kb@iu.edu.

The hidden folders showing up in the URL (access servlet) view is a bug - see SAK-6168.
