Nice, simple question, thanks Steve
what is disturbing is how many (45% at this point in time) of responders selected "yes".

Unfortunate I was one of the 45% answering wrong :(. I answered this from the top of my head and thought the folder would be visible but not able to expand and/or view.

Why is that disturbing? It's not as if it's important to know it.

That's right, I guessed wrong (50% chance) 🙂 I thought it might show the node but give an error if you tried to access it.

I answered this from the top of my head and thought the folder would be visible but not able to expand and/or view.

I was wondering if that was the case but went with the cleaner, "If it can't be used, it shouldn't be shown," thought and was right. I'm betting if there was a third option of it showing but not being usable that's where most of the yeses would have been.

Why is that disturbing? It's not as if it's important to know it.

In practise I've never had any use for guest; never allowed anyone to put anything into a guest schema; never allowed guests to do anything; so of course I didn't know the answer (and suspect that I'm not in a minority in that approach to the guest user); but got it right by common sense reasoning, not by random guessing.

Maybe what's disturbing is that so many people guessed wrong, on something which seems to be very easy to get right by thinking about it a bit, even if one doesn't actually know the answer?

My reasoning is that (apart from owning the guest schema) guest by default has no permissions other than connect (and that is something which everyone must surely know?) so he can't see anything other than the guest schema (and presumably its contents, if any). However, there may be something illogical about that reasoning, perhaps it's just a lucky (for my point score) accident that it leads to the correct answer correct answer; and it could be that "Arturius"' reason for finding it disturbing is something altogether different.

Unfortunate I was one of the 45% answering wrong :(. I answered this from the top of my head and thought the folder would be visible but not able to expand and/or view.

My first thought was that it shouldn't be visible. But, as other's like HanShi above, I was afraid that it would be visible but disabled. So, I tested it.

got it right by common sense reasoning, not by random guessing.

My common sense reasoning (followed by a random guess) was that there are plenty of other places that MS will show you something and only tell you that you don't have access when you try to select it. A folder in Windows Explorer for instance.

Anyone remembers SQL2000 Enterprise Manager? It is visible there (with Jobs only). I had that in mind and missed :blush:

Well, there is a difference in "see" and "view"! Joe can see the Agent folder but he can not view/access the folder. Based on this interpretation, I got it wrong 🙁
