option to hide folders with no access #1684

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
when having few folders in source, I can set up per user which folders the user has access to - and it works, but the user still can see those folders in the listing. sure, when he/she tries to enter those folders, there's information about no access rights, but folders are in the list creating unnecessary confusion from time to time. my guess is that it was designed this way, so this is not a problem per se, just a design choice.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love to have a possibility to set visibility of a folder along with it's access rights. so if user hasn't got access rights to a certain folder, it also is hidden on his listing. it's not necessary to be active for all denied folders - could by optional checkmark in the access settings window.

Describe alternatives you've considered
alternative solution considered is to configure more sources, tailored to certain users, but it is not ideal, as it just multiply sources even if those are in the same location.

Additional context
example of this idea in action:
source DISK with folders:

  • projects
  • pictures
  • music
  • movies

user A has access to all those folders, so when he choose DISK as source, he should see all four folders.
user B on the other hand, has access to music folder denied, so when he chooses DISK as source, he only should see folders projects, pictures and movies.
