We currently allow access to private categories using groups. I’d like to give the group owners the ability to edit/remove posts in those private categories without making them administrators of the whole forum. Is there a way to do that?

Yes, you can create a custom group only for the owners and give this group the permissions to moderate the category in the category settings (be sure to enable the site setting `enable category group review`). Members of this new group will see the **Review** section in the hamburger menu so they can go into the queue and review queued posts and flags. For example, a member can flag a post and then go to the review queued and hide it (Agree).
