Hi! To create a directory that only certain Looker users can view, you will need someone with an Admin Looker role to configure your Looker instance to use an open system with restrictions and be sure to change the All Users group's access to View on the Shared folder. 

Once that system is set up, you can use the following steps to get what you want:

  1. Create a folder to contain your dashboards within the Shared folder (or a subfolder of Shared if you prefer - note that subfolders inherit the access level settings from their parent folder).
  2. Set the folder access level to View or Manage Access, Edit for the users or groups you wish to give access to the folder.
  3. Remove the folder access level for the All Users group, by selecting the X next to the group.
  4. Move the dashboards into the folder you created.
