[I fixed something](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/5f67cd7b45807ab0640869f35d0ed58aacce91ed) confusing about the UI that might be what you’re describing.

- A tag “ford” is restricted to be used in a category.
- In a different category, try to add the “ford” tag.
- Someone who is **allowed to create new tags** sees this, and you can add “ford” to the tags input:

- Someone who is **not allowed to create new tags** sees this, and can’t add “ford”:

The second case is correct since no one should be able to add that tag in the wrong category.
