Is there a way of restricting category selection by role or user?

Many thanks

Barry

In Admin Options -> Main Options -> Security Settings there is a column for category view which can be restricted if the user has permissions to submit an article.  It's a global change affecting all categories, if that is what you are looking for.

Hi Mark,

My client wants to restrict particular article writers to specific categories.  The situation is that some of the writers will be regionally based, so their reports will be too.  There will also be a category for 'Official' press releases and my client wants to ensure that the regional writers cannot check the 'Press Release' category and have their regional meanderings show up along with the real press releases.

I don't think that's possible at present.

No this isn't possible, the only way would be to add the same instance to multiple pages and filter on page security.
