You can&#39;t solve this through permissions...<br /><br />In order to see contents within a folder, you have to have permission on the folder too. So you won&#39;t be able to do this using permissions on the folders.<br /><br />There is a D&amp;M portlet, non control panel, that you can set a root folder in.  So I&#39;d create a page, drop 3 of these guys on it, each setting the root folder to one of the subs, but then set the view permission on the portlet to the sub admin role.<br /><br />In this way you&#39;re controlling access to the D&amp;M portlet, but not the underlying folder.<br /><br />And keep the folks out of the control panel. If they&#39;re not admins, they shouldn&#39;t be in there. If they are admins, then you gotta trust them as an admin.

Hi,<br />I have 1 site, with 1 Super Administrator and 3 Administrators.<br />What I am trying to do is, to create one Main Directory in Documents and Media and 3 Sub Directories within it namely Sub One, Sub Two and Sub Three.<br /><br />I am assigning Administrator 1 to Sub One directory,  Administrator 2 to Sub Two and so on.<br />I don&#39;t want Administrator 1 to be able to view Sub Two directory while in Control Panel or while updating content via Web Content Display browse option.<br />BUT, i want the content uploaded by any Administrator be viewed by any Guest/Users.<br /><br />In short, i want to restrict access/view for admin for certain directories within Documents and Media in Control Panel BUT not restrict them to view the file on the site.<br /><br />The closest one I have is removing the View option in permission of the directory for unintended Administrators and also Guests. <br />This kind of worked, BUT when i try to view the site with the uploaded file, it is still hidden if you are not Administrator 1. <br />This happens even after i set the permission for the file itself to view able by everyone. It is still following the permission by the parent directory.<br /><br />I hope my explanation is clear. I am still trying to work this out. Any suggestions are welcomed.<br />​​​​​​​Thanks.
