I must add I'm NOT talking about the categories manager but the categories dropdown filter in the ARTICLE manager
thanks

@pulsarinformatique I was unable to reproduce to issue. Can you tell us which Joomla version your are using ?

Very easy to reproduce with Joomla 3.6.5

Create two sub manager groups: managers1 and managers2

Create two ACLs : manager1 access and manager2 access. for both ACL only select the designated group (manager1 and manager2)

Create a manager account you put only in the manager1 group

Create a category with the manager2 access to it. let's name it 'manager2 acl cat'

disconnect and reconnect as manager1

Go to the CATEGORY manager: you don't see the 'manager2 acl cat' which is normal since you are now allowed to see it (you don't belong to the manager2 group)

NOW go to the ARTICLE manager and display the category dropdown filter: SURPRISE: you still see the 'manager2 acl cat' ! you should'nt

see ?

I think there's one detail your forgot to make : you must create two access levels assigned to it's corresponding user group. After that, you must specify these access levels when you create categories. If not, categories will remain with "Public" access level and will be displayed regardless of the user access level.

Hi

no marrouchi we DID create those two access levels and we assigned them to the categories. the categories I mentioned in my post are not public !

please test the scenario I wrote you will see the issue

thanks
