Thank you very much indeed Preeti,

I only checked "Document Security" Tab -> Folder first while I also had to check for work Area/ Folder security Tab, missed that.

All the best,

Nico

Hello Nicolas,

You can give the user list "No Access" under the Document Security. If No Access is Checked ON, the user will not be able to see or have any access to the folder.

Please check the below link for more details.

Have you tried at just the parent folder that contains the folders you don't want the others to see, giving the user list just "Read" in the Work Area/Folder Security and "No Access" under Document Security? This is what we do and it prevents users from seeing the children folders other than those that they have explicit access to.
