What It Does

This plugin allows you to select a specific category per user, ensuring that all of that user's posts will be posted in that category only.

Only admins can set categories for users. Users with a specified category will be limited to that category, while others will still have full control. The plugin removes the category metabox for selected users and removes categories from quick edit for those users. There is also an option to clear the selection and support for multiple categories per user.

This plugin includes a French translation and welcomes any feedback or suggestions.
