Confidential Keyword

Confidential= No | Yes | Service

This keyword determines whether the existence of the list should be hidden from users. "Confidential= No" is the default value and indicates that the list is not confidential. "Confidential= Service" indicates that the list is to be hidden from users who are not in the list's service area (see "Service=" keyword) but not from other users. "Confidential= Yes" means that the list is unconditionally confidential. Lists coded "No" will appear in the list of lists (CataList) and on the web archive index. Lists coded "Service" will only appear on the web archive index. Lists coded "Yes", are not publicized at all.

Please note that the local list of (public) lists can be retrieved only by those users who are considered local, per the setting of the LOCAL site configuration variable. All other users will be told that none of the lists on the server are visible. This is regardless of the setting of "Confidential=".
