Preparations
Create a course site with at least the following tools:
- Announcements
- Resources
Add 4 users to this site:
- 2 Instructors (to make sure they can't hide things from each other)
- 1 Teaching Assistant (be sure to grant "hidden" permission)
- 1 Student
Upload at least one file and one new folder that contains at least one file to the Resources section of a course site.
Verify Permissions:
The Resources tool has a new permission named "Hidden." Before conducting any testing, verify that the Instructor and Teaching Assistant roles have the hidden permission, and the Student role does not. You can alter this as an Instructor through the "Permissions" action link at the top of the Resources tool.
