How to make a topic visible to a group Y and the creator when the creator is not a member of the group?  
The user should be able to create a topic, which gets a category AAA automatically assigned.  
Users from a group Y are allowed to see/reply/create topics in category AAA.  
The creator should also have permission to see/reply on his own post.  
Is this possible?
