Description
Based on the Restrict Categories plugin, this plugin allows you to restrict the taxonomies terms that users or roles can use when they publish content. It also provide front end restriction for non logged users.
ToDo List
- Prevent the user from accessing the single view of a CPT that is in a disallowed taxonomy
Screenshots
The settings are located in Settings > Restrict Taxonomies 
First choose the post types and the taxonomies to handle 
Select the categories allowed for a role or a user (note that user options override role options) 
Should the plugin restrict taxonomies in the front end ?

/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Configure the plugin in Settings > Restrict Taxonomies
- Choose the taxonomies AND the corresponding post types
- Activate (or don’t, as you wish) the front end rescrictions
FAQ
Does this plugin also works for page taxonomies ?
Yes, the page post type will always be handled, therefore, it doesn’t appear in the post types and taxonomies settings

N?o funciona mais… Percebi o erro a partir do Wordpress 5.1.1, imagino que a mudan?a do editor, e na forma de escolha das categorias, deve ter alterado, de forma que o plugin n?o funciona mais. ??

This plugin seemed to be just what I needed. After messing around with too complicated membership plugins, this one is exactly right for my purposes. However, after installation my new settings were not saved. Then I read a workaround from anothe ruser: “you need first to click on “Reset config”. after that, plugin work as expected”. This worked. But then I found that the plugin didn’t behave as I expected. When I restrict a product to a certain user based on a product tag, it becomes the only visble product on the main shop page. That is good. But when I go to the category of that product, suddenly all products appear again. So they’re hidden on the main shop page, but are still visible on the category shop page. I fooled around with the settings, but I couldn’t get this right.

Some php warning in log and plugin have no effect : when you click to “save settings” button, form was reseted and nothing was saved.
EDIT : The bug occur only on fresh install. To correct it, you need first to click on “Reset config”. after that, plugin work as expected
