Description

Using Structures to assemble Wiki pages into a book is a very powerful way to manage sets of pages in a holistic manner.

A common usage requirement however is to be able to restrict access to some selected pages within a Structure, which works fine from an access control point of view, BUT when the toc function is used ALL the pages will be listed within the Structure no matter what Category permissions the individual user has. This means that users have visibility of some pages that they cannot access - which may be very undesirable!! and conflicts with the WYSIWYCA principle.

It would be extremely useful to be able to filter the resultant list from the toc function, to just the pages/links that the individual user's categorisation permission allow them to see. In this way the categorised pages would not be visible at all in the same way as they are treated in many other functions e.g. List pages etc.

Still does this in 3.0b4
