Everyone is able to see a configuration overview, with links to the appropriate groups (with signs, if you can apply for membership). Stats for notifications are also shown.
This information can also be included in post via bbcode [reach-and-rights].

How do you handle groups that aren’t visible to the user?
For example, you have secret_group that is only visible to admins and public_group that is visible for everyone, and users are allowed to join.
Now there is a category that allows posting for both groups. Will users of public_group see the name of the group they shouldn’t know about in this case? Will users in secret_group see both groups, even though the group is invisible for them?
Since trust by trancparency is the goal in our situation, I would show all groups able to read a category in the infobox.
For special cases, I could imagine the need to have group names obfuscated, but I would still show, that there is a group defined, who can access the category.
Propose a (configurable) solution, if you like to have something implemented.
Cat navbar is just a secondary issue from something that affect categories. Its status doesn’t play any role.
The most of categories are typical everyone and some are for TL0.
There is chance this is just another conflict between other component/s or plugin/s. I can check that at some time, if you don’t see anything strange on your instance.
