Exclude category from Media Library

Is there any way I can exclude a category from the media library for non-admin users?
So when editors etc go into the media library, they dont see images with the category ‘admin only’.

With my plugin this is not possible. If you want this then you have to program some additional code (ask your local website builder).

I managed to do it by adding this code to functions.php

function hide_media_categories($query) {
	global $pagenow;

   if( ( 'upload.php' != $pagenow   ) || !$query->is_admin ){
		return $query;
	}

   $tax_query = array(
      array(
        'taxonomy' => 'media_category',
        'field' => 'id',
        'terms' => array(177),
        'operator' => 'NOT IN'
      )
   );

   $query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'hide_media_categories');
