I think users need Read permissions on those folders to access scripts and templates within those folders. So for the moment they can't be hidden - the Readonly permission is of course protecting the folders from being modified and deleted by non-admin users, but they are still visible.

Thanks,

Kevin

You can do this, but it is slightly time consuming.

All you have to do is revoke permissions on the Data Dictionary space for the non-admin users, then grant them read-only permissions on the spaces containing the scripts and templates.
This way they won't be able to see the Data Dictionary space but will be able to run the templates or scripts.
