Seems of limited value to me, most of the private groups/categories users can’t see at all.

So if you are in a group, or have access to a category with the group glyph indicating the category is only visible to certain groups, presumably you’d know why _as a member of said group/category_.

I guess we could show the permissions in the category page somewhere, but doesn’t feel necessary to me.
