I have a folder "Data Sources" where all data modules are stored which was created by admin.
I have hid this folder from users using "Hide this Entry" option in properties.
Now, we also have some powerusers who can upload files and create their own data modules and publish reports.
The poweruser wants to hide the folder in which they had uploaded the files & created data modules and only the reports folder should be visible to the user.
But if I give these poweruser the option of "Show hidden entries" then they will be able to see the folder("Data Sources") that was created by the admin.
Is there any way I can hide the folders that was created by admin or hide the folder based on roles?

Why?  If they truly need to be protected, that's security, not hiding.  Hiding is to keep Joe User from having a cluttered interface.
