Many thanks for this plugin, very simple to use. It works fine with WordPres 5.8.2
and PHP 7.4.25. Good year, I hope this plugin will continue and will be updated 
in the future.

### 󠀁[Works fine but lacks a feature in my opinion](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-fine-but-lacks-a-feature-in-my-opinion/)󠁿

This plugin works fine with Gutenberg but it lacks an important feature in my opinion.
When we select a restrict category to a user, only this category is added to the
user and none of his children. It would be interesting to have all the children 
inherit restriction of parent. And when we create a new children category it automatically
add the parent restriction.
