You'll have to bind to the _items_ property or write to it in an _onStartup_ script. In the script, check if the current user has appropriate roles or security levels, and generate your tree structure appropriately. If you right-click on your existing items and copy, you can then paste that into a script console to have a starting point to work from. (You'll have to capitalize boolean literals through...) ---

Ignition hack: you could put ```python true = True false = False ``` as the top of your code so that you don't have to do all that boolean replacement.
