I have tested this item 🔴 unsuccessfully on 8ef78a8

I created a category called Test, and assigned it to Super Users.
I then created a test user as an Administrator, so I can login in the back end.

When logged in as test user and the patch is applied, it works as advertised in the article manager where it does not list articles assigned to the test category. The new test category also does not show up in the category manager.

However:
the following fails:

• In the article manager, and using the search tools, there is still a choice to select the test category as a search filter option.
• It's still possible to create a new article and assign the article to that test category.

@kalemanzi can you retest
now should be not possible to create a new article and assign the article to that test category.

Well done! Almost there.
I've tested the article editor and it does not show the test category, it also does not show up in the category manager, so that bit is all good.

The last place I can see that it shows up now is in the search filters in article manager.

Sorted! Thanks.

Problem here on a multilingual site:
A category set to SuperUsers access is not proposed anymore as a possible association.
I think that, as the user logged in does not have to edit that category or create an article in it, he should nevertheless have the possibility of associating it to the category he is editing.

If a parent category is set to SuperUsers access, its children categories are still usable.
Is that expected?

Note (unrelated to the patch):
As an administrator (not superuser) I can still assign the SuperUsers Access level to anything.
Result is that after saving anything with that access level, I can't see it anymore.
Would not that be an issue?

correct
can we open a new issue for this ? (this pr works with monolanguage sites)
i'm not so sure what should be the best way to manage the user access level on association on multilingual:

• using the https://github.com/joomla-projects/gsoc16_improved-multi-lingual
• using a new permission can.associate
• etc
• ect

@andrepereiradasilva what do you think about ?

If a parent category is set to SuperUsers access, its children categories are still usable.
Is that expected?

yes if the children level permits

for example:

• catA - superuser -- catA.1 - admin

if you are admin you have access at catA.1 and not at catA

even not, could be a way to implement some kind of workflow ??
