It is currently possible to exclude a moderator from a category by using group access rules. The main problem with using this approach as a way of creating [category specific moderators](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-specific-moderators-phase-1-rfc/21900) is that moderators will still receive notifications for categories that they don’t have access to. Is this something that we would like to get to work? ### Current behaviour If a moderator is excluded from a category, their flag\_count will be incremented for each flag, regardless of its category. If they visit the `/admin/flags` page, they will only see flagged posts for categories that they _do_ have access to. The queued post count is incremented for each queued post, regardless of its category. If a moderator visits `/queued-posts`, they will see all queued posts, and be able to approve posts for categories that they _do not_ have access to. ### Limitiations Excluding moderators from categories will not entirely meet the specifications for category specific moderators: - it will only work for protected categories - if a moderator is added to group that has access to a category, they will have moderation rights for the category --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/limit-moderator-notifications-based-on-category-access/93420)._
