The natural followup question for this is, are there plans to make this editable in the Permissions view? Otherwise for potentially dozens of categories for dozens of groups, I will need to do the following: > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/0/503b042fc04f10a692c48d790d5c70cdf4ba1207.png) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/b/fb3eb81de57918b1182e6a7a6422e686f3bf7a89.png) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/8/a8e46ad5c70696f0b6ad6526378e3856dff3df41.png) > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/d/8d37e36e034753a537a8d1358e596e779fde896d.png) This does have the advantage that I will be pushed to review _all_ Groups for the Category I needed to modify, and potentially catch other Groups that need an update. However, being able to change the permissions of a group with checkboxes such as the Security tab in the Category would also be very beneficial. In my case it’s possible we have hundreds of Categories, and as many as six to a dozen Groups per category. So, a modifyable table of all Groups vs Category Permissions would perhaps be even better. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-group-permissions-transparently-on-category-and-topic-pages/15718)._
