I configured 2 categories:

- one category `School_A` which is private for a specific `group_School_A`
- one category `Support` which is private for `Trust Level 0` users

I configure the setting `Default navigation menu categories` to have `School_A`and `Support`but on the side pannel, only `School_A` is appearing for users belonging to `group_School_A`.

To access `Support`we still have to click on `All categories` and select `Support`.

If I configured the `Support` category to be private for `group_School_A`, I still have the same issue.

Can someone perhaps help understand what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks
