When adding the groups permission restrictions alongside “Everyone can” (do everything) the permission vanishes.I guess somewhat unsurprisingly because there’s already a permission stating that “Everyone can do everything” that super cedes their permissions rule.

So at a glance it looks like in order to get this to work I would need to remove “Everyone” from 90% of the other cats and sub cats and then add back level 0 can, level 1 can, level 2 can, level 3 can, level 4 can, BUT this group cannot.

That’s going to be a fair amount of work - is there a more elegant solution to this? I feel like I might be holding the stick by the wrong end or something.
