[edit]The $wgCategoryPermissions variable is used to define permissions in groups for each category and action. If no permissions are defined for a category and action, then permission handling falls back to the standard $wgGroupPermissions.
$wgCategoryPermissions['category']['*'][] = 'sysop'; // Sysops can do anything they want with this category.
$wgCategoryPermissions['category']['*'][] = 'bureaucrat'; // Bureaucrats can do anything they want with this category.
$wgCategoryPermissions['category']['read'] = array( 'newgroup', 'othergroup' ); // Users who are in both NewGroup and OtherGroup can read pages in this category.
