Hide/Unhide or Privatize/Deprivatize Variables

Description

The public folder is the top level folder of all regular public variables. Both hidden and private are hidden from most views in crunch by default. Hidden variables can be accessed by an user, while private variables (and all variables derived from them) are only accessible by users granted "editor" access to the dataset and so can be used to secure personally identifiable information from non-editors of a dataset.

Arguments

x	a Variable, VariableCatalog, or dataset to hide/unhide/privatize/deprivatize
dataset	A dataset
variables	Variables to change status of
value	Replacement values for assignment methods.
key	(for hiddenVariables() / privateVariables() the Variable attribute to return. Default is "alias", following envOrOption("crunch.namekey.dataset").

Details

There are several ways to assign variables into these categories and access them:

• hideVariables() / privatizeVariables() - take a character vector of variable aliases and makes them hidden/private. (unhideVariables() / deprivatizeVariables() put them back in the main variable catalog).

• hide() / privatize() - take a CrunchVariable or VariableCatalog and make them hidden/private. (unhide() / deprivatize() put them back in the main variable catalog).

• hiddenFolder() / privateFolder() / publicFolder() - take a dataset and return a folder that contains the public/hidden/private variables. This folder is like other CrunchFolders and so you can use mkdir() to create subfolders and mv() to move them in/out.

• hiddenVariables() / privateVariabiles() - return a character vector of variables that are hidden/private. You can assign into the catalog to add variables or assign to NULL to remove all of them.
