Could you use a submit trigger that rejected any attempt to add to
//depot/Private/X where X wasn't the submitter's ID (or, for less
control, any user's ID?) By restricting it to adds or branches,
you, as admin, could create additional directories by any name
within which they could edit existing files. Might be useful.
