The new global settings option Hide folders without read permissions allows you to hide WATO folders from users. If a user does not have read permission to the subfolder AND any of its subfolders, the folder is simply not shown.

Note: This feature only reduces the number of folders in the WATO folder overview. It does not hide these folders in other WATO pages.
