Adding this one although it is no longer a big deal for me. I had to explain it to a colleague and as I was explaining I was slightly baffled by what I was saying… Which was:

Only categories can hold content and categories must be contained inside a parent category, so if you want to create a single category with content it needs to be inside a parent category nonetheless. Hmmm…

But the most confusing is this: you can restrict categories to different user roles which is good, BUT not parent categories. So if you were to create a single category that was restricted to some specific role, it would have to be inside a parent category; then everyone, even random visitors would see your parent category and nothing would appear to be inside for these people!?!?!

So my suggestion:

  1. Allow parent categories to hold content if they hold no categories or alternatively allow categories not to be contained inside a parent category (Same result).
  2. Allow the restriction of parent categories by role so that a parent category as a whole can be created for a specific role without having to be visible to other roles.
