I probably made unique reading exceptions incorrectly. Most certainly a noob error ?? I will go back and redo it from scratch to see if I can get a better result.

Thanks.

At first. Thanks kevinB for taking the time to analyze and answer.

Category Board, Reading Exceptions (all post types statuses):

• WP Roles: ALL BLOCKED
• Groups: Board member ALLOWED

User: John Smith
Role: Author
Permission group: Board memeber

Did I understand you correct that this should work (=allow John Smith to see post with category type Board)?

In my case the user John Smith does not see the category at all. However, if I allow the role Author for the category it immediately shows up.
