 * 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.
