Our setup: - public stuff is "section 1". Anonymous can read the used classes (folders, articles, images, files) in section 1, but only in this section - other, more secret stuff has it's own section and uses corresponding roles, which are assigned to user groups - admin stuff has its own section, which only the admin role can read/edit.
