Hi There,
In the backend when an author is logged in and editing an entry, how do I go about hiding specific categories from a specific member group that the logged in author belongs to?

I don’t wish to hide category groups but rather individual categories.

I’m not worried about showing hiding anything on the frontend as everything is public.

I’m using ExpressionEngine version 2.5.2

Thanks in advance.

I don’t believe you can do that in the control panel itself (unless there’s an add-on I’m not thinking of), but you COULD accomplish this if management of the entries was being handled in a Safecracker form - you could then use regular EE conditionals and/or entries loop parameters to withhold availability of specific categories.

Hope that helps.
