Configure a sitecore role to access the system folder

i'm using Sitecore 6.5. I want to configure a Sitecore role to access the /system folder from the content editor. (my end goal is to have certain user to access and edit the webforms in /system/modules/web forms for marketeers)

I have granted read rights to the system folder on the role, but the /system folder does not appear in the content editor tree.

I guess if there is some other security preventing the users to see the system folder? I can only get a view on the system folder by granting full admin rights to the user.

Where are Sitecore roles stored?

In Sitecore, the roles are stored in the membership provider, default in the core database in . net membership tables, not in Sitecore items.

What are roles in Sitecore?

In Sitecore, access security is controlled on three levels: user - an individual user. role - a collection of users. Roles enable you to assign access rights to a group of users instead of to an individual user.

First off, make sure the user has the Entire Tree and Hidden Items options ticked in the View tab.

Also, to check if it's access rights you can use the Access Viewer to see whether the user has access rights. If they don't you can click on the Read right (for instance) and see why they don't have access to the System node (for example, which role Denies the read access).

For more information, please check the Security Reference document on SDN.
