I installed this plugin on my website. Was impressed with the simplicity until I
realized that it did not work.

Now is when. Activated, visited its page on the Dashboard menu, clicked two checkboxes,
and the relevant products and categories were gated off. Even shows the correct 
alternate views and message so as not to disorient people who would otherwise see
little or nothing. Also, I totally get that Administrator is a role anyway, but 
it's super easy to test with when you, as the admin, can just toggle yourself on
and off to see how your changes affect things.

If you own a woocommerce shop and need a simple but elegant way to restrict product
categories to specific logged-in user roles, well, this is your plugin. WooCommerce
Restrict By Category works flawlessly and is easy to use. Install it, then go settings.
In each user box select the categories that you want the user to see. That's it.
Simple, and perfect. I searched 5 times before I found this plugin. It should rank
higher in the searches. It does the exact job using good UI/UX so that's why i give
WooCommerce Restrict By Category a 5 star rating.
