Categories are a powerful feature in Tiki since version 2.0. They are a key to performing complex permission management. This handler only allows you to define categories, create subcategories, and to assign objects to categories. To assign permissions to the categories Permission Management must be used, where you assign that some group has some permissions on a category (which are treated in the handler the same as any other object).
Applying categories to objects created in the same profile: You should use object references (and not profilerequests) to categorize objects that are created by the profile itself.
Alternatively, a categorize block can be used to categorize objects individually, for objects created by other profiles or data channels for example.
