[daisy] Navigation tree problems

[Manoj Yadav]

Hi
Thanks for the response

So If I have only one site and follow your method creating collections and
restricting access.
Then granting access on the user account basis for the each collection would
I be able to access the welcom to  site page and the navigation tree. I am
not able to do that with branches presently. I have only one site.
