Re: Category help
First clear your Tiki temp cache on the page tiki-admin_system.php. This can be the cause of a lot of category/permission, then report back and let everybody know how you got on.
It sounds like you have everything set up correctly, although I did note problems where category permissions would only propagate to the first child category below and not any below that. In other words, permisions applied to "Policy" would only propagate to "Information Security", and not "Approved", "Draft", or "Pending", so check those categories in each case.
