New topic, choose category. Why all the categories are listed?

It’s supposed to respect permissions and hide the categories they don’t have permission for posting. And it did previously, I believe. So perhaps it’s a bug?
 

I’ll need to test on my community to see if this is happening, but I haven’t heard anything. 

I think this is how it should work but I dont know how this have been earlier?

I hope it is a bug, then it should be easy to fix!

Thanks mate 👌

Same issue on my community. I submitted a support ticket (#363681) to report the bug. 

I only see this where they have “Category Visibility” checked but not “Create Topics” and “Create Replies”. Once my tester tries to post they get the error message. There maybe a better way but suspect this has been like this all along.

I agree with Danny.

Seems like a bug on our platform too & I’m gonna raise this internally as well.

​@revote did you get a chance to raise a ticket for the same on your community? 

No, I hoped we will get this fixed as well, because this seems to be general bug in the platform.

Hey ​@revote and ​@DannyPancratz - thanks for reporting this issue.

I’ve been trying to reproduce the issue but haven’t had any success. Is this still happening on your end? I’ve tested both custom and primary roles, and the categories in the dropdown are being hidden as expected.

Yes, I still can:

Yes, it's still happening.

Testing is a pain for me on our community due to our SSO and no ability to spoof another user. But I can see this bug still happening on the Gainsight community itself. Community News is not a category I have permissions to post to. This is what I see: 

Thank you ​@DannyPancratz ​@revote - I will do some more tests now and follow up with you on the tickets and also post here.
