please do not forget of this one, it is related to the other PRs

ok so i just found on ething that seems an issue, or at leaset and inconsistency

• use a user with "Administrator" group
• create with that user this two categories

• Create another category with super user so it stays like this

• At com_content set Edit as Denied for the "Administrator" group
• At "Test ACL" level don't change permission
• At "Test ACL Sub" level set "Edit Own to "Denied"
• At "Test ACL Sub (Super User)" level don't change permission

Good catch, thanks

i replicated it , for an (administrator) user that owns the record (category),
and "edit own" was denied for administrator usergroup

In my local testing copy,
i did not have that check included (so it was working properly in my tests ...),

and when editing the file via Github UI, i failed to remove it from the old code

please retest
