It's a known issue. Category field is checking against authorised view levels.

@SharkyKZ thanks for jumping to the conversation. Is there another opened issue?

Assuming you experience this issue when logged in as super user there's pending PR #16417 that would fix this. Though I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

For now you would have to structure your user groups or access levels in a way that super users would have access to all levels.

Closing this as it has been resolved elsewhere and is no longer reproducable
