Script: Make from a folder a Root root folder

Converts an existing folder to a root folder and appends it to the current user group for viewing.

The folder is moved to the root and is only visible to the current user group. It is removed from its original location.

The script must be executed on the user group that you want the root folder to be visible to.

The folder must be specified by the ID. You can view the ID by selecting Properties on the folder with the right mouse button.
