I'm facing a situation that I'm not sure if doable, just asking if anyone can help please.

Let's say we have:
Category A (public access)
Catebory B (public access)
etc
Category Z (access only by registered)

Section allows multiple category selection.

If author publishes article in Category B AND Category Z, public can not see article full view.
Visitor can see Category B and list of articles, including the ones shared with Categ Z
BUT not able to see article full view.

So, question: can I make anything so that visitor sees those articles in full view, even if shared with non-accessible category?

Thanks

No. This is not possible. That does not make sence. If you have public access to that article anyway, why store it in protected access.

I think if you have this approach, you have to go with article access restrictions. Make all categories public and restrict articles. Because what you need is access per article not per category.

I was thinking about smth like an optional "internal" category.
I don't want to hide the articles themselves, but only that particular grouping - available for the authors only.
It would be in fact another hidden way of filtering all articles...

Thanks Sergey, I'll think of smth...
