Is this possible to restrict a category?
Not sure if you can specifically restrict a single category but you can allow them access to all categories EXCEPT the one you are trying to restrict…
You would add a supplemental role of Post Editor
Then you would add exceptional roles to allow editing access to ONLY the categories you want them to be able to edit
Post > Edit > Only These > Categories > check off Category (select checkboxes for categories and sub categories)
To allow them to only assign posts to the allowed categories, add this exception:
Post > Assign Term > Only These > Categories > check off Category (select checkboxes for categories and sub categories)
Not sure if that is the best answer, but it should work!

Thanks. I just don’t want them to see or edit and posts of a category. Like when they log in now, they can’t see all the admin menus and plugins. So when they log in I don’t want them to have access to the category. Seem I need to purchase a key to To assign exceptions for editing. Role scoper was so much easier and free.

I found a solution. WordPress by default blocks all the admin menus for users who are not an administrator. Then I used this plugin to block them from categories. When they they are logged in they don’t see those categories listed. restrict-categories
