Hide organizational element settings in the Trimion 2011 SP1 CM snap-in

Question

I would like to limit which elements that users can see in CM, and not by default, which allows them to see this element but not to read its contents, which gives the "Insufficient permissions" error.

For a specific group, I assigned the category management right to publish and read permission to only two of the forty available categories. When I test login as a user of this group, everything appears, well:

• I see only the publication to which the group is entitled.
• I see all forty categories under categories and keywords, but can only read from two for which I have set permission.

So far so good.

Then I opened the Tridion CM snap-in and changed the value " Hide elements of the organization if there is no access to content ", from 0 to 1. Shutdown COM + and restart IIS.

Logging in is the same as before, I still see all forty categories as before - it seems there are no changes?

Can't configure CM so that my user sees only two categories for which they have read permission?

Ideally, I would like the same for address books for the Manager audience - only listing the address books that the group has for reading / writing / deleting.

This is the Tridion 2011 SP1.

EDIT

Just browse the online docs and they relate to setting up snap-ins like:

If enabled, folders and structures for which the user does not have read permission is hidden from this user; the default value is 0, that is, disabled.

Does this mean that this does not apply to categories / address books?

You're right. This option applies to structural groups and folders.

The term “organization element” always needs some context that needs to be understood precisely. Categories are, in principle, organizational elements, but a category is always the root root, and root organizational bodies have special rules. In some contexts, even publications are called orktiment. In this particular context, this means folders and group structures.
