Category access inherited to sub-categories
under review
Kasper Ahrensburg
Today when assigning access to roles to specific categories, this access is not inherited to sub-categories. This puts a huge limitation to the use of differentiated access for different security groups, because new sub-categories will not automatically be included in the security group.
If access to a particular category could be automatically inherited to sub-categories - both existing and any future sub-categories, this would greatly expand the use of using security groups.

Agreed. I created a group for our customers - all SSO readers that are not part of our organization. This group should have access to most, but not all categories and sub-categories in our Knowledge Base. I had to manually click each and every category/subcategory, and going forward I will have to remember to add access for this group every time I create a new sub-category in a customer-facing area. Inheritance would solve all of this.

Kasper Ahrensburg, All - We have rolled-out a feature, "Block Inheritance", would you kindly validate if this suffices your needs. Please find the below documentation link for the same.

Is there any update on this feature? My team is also highly interested in it.

This! I struggle with the reader (and editor) groups too, as this makes it nearly impossbile to keep track.

This has been somewhat frustrating when creating reader groups
