Moving categories

When you move a category, any object assigned to the category maintains its association with it. All of the category's object rights are retained.

For example, you may have a South American Sales category that is accessible only by sales people in that region. You also have a World Sales category that contains worldwide sales reports needed by all sales people. For more intuitive organization, you want to move the region categories into the World Sales category. When you move the South American Sales category into the World Sales category, it retains its rights settings and associated objects, even though it has become a subcategory of the World Sales category.
