You were in the right place. There is a drop box to the right of the perms box labled groups. If you assign tiki_p_view_categories to your site admin group then only they will be able to see any objects in that cat. Now you assign tiki_p_view_categories to the group that you want to give axcess to.

You must be careful to insure that the child cats are also set up correctly.

If you use the tiki_p_admin_categories future then you can control who can edit items in that cat. So where a person might normally be able to edit a wiki page they could be disallowed in some cats.

I tried a test back about the time 1.9.0 was released and that method didn't work in all cases, but it did in some. Don't know if things have progressed since then.

The system is working better now. Quite a bit of work was done to prevent inadvertent access to controled areas. You must make sure you are current with your TW install. I do have one site where you can see the pages in the calendar even though you can not see the page. That site needs an upgrade.

I would reccomend doing some tests if you use this. Check to insure your pages do not show up in the list pages, or calendar or other places.
