think I first need to create a group with just the co‑authors, say “u4ria‑goals‑authors”. And then a category, say “U4ria goals”. And lock that category and then make it accessible only to the co‑authors group.

That’s what to do.

@robbie.morrison

One question that arises is that can I make a category “Papers” and then a “U4RIA goals” subcategory and then map “u4ria‑goals‑authors” to just that subcategory?

That’s right too.

The documentation that you send both exists and isn’t needed for you since you already understand how it works without reading it (did you search “category group”, for example?)

See How to create private categories using category security settings to confirm that what you thought you knew is in fact correct!
