[LON-CAPA-users] how to force new randomization for student

[James Sullivan]

Mark,

How do you selectively hide a folder based on users?

I see how to hide a folder in Course Documents but that is "global" meaning
class-wide, right? Is there a parm where I can hide/unhide folders for
specific users?

Thanks,
Jay
