      Answers to the questions:

      1. We have 1 folder at the root for each sites we have and we want to force people to sort their displays in the right site and not have displays lying at the root.

      2. Just been able to choose wihch security entities may write at the root folder would be good for us. Admins having all the rights by default of course.
