Thank you. Is that "their own categories" as a User or as a Role? I.e. can several people with the same role upload to a set of categories selected by the Administrator?
Thanks.

Upload access to categories based on user role Hello,

Hi,
Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.
Is it possible for a user with a specific role to have read access to all files but only be able to upload and edit files in specific categories?
This is something you can do at backend but users can not see all files. You can set users to create categories and upload, edit files in their own categories.
Please go here for more information:

The visibility of category for users on frontend will be set at category settings:
