      Admin hides a course category but makes the courses in the category visible. Admin can see the category link dimmed in the navbar, as expected. Other users can see the link in the navbar, not dimmed and accessible. When a user clicks the visible link of the hidden category the user is notified: Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (See hidden categories).

      Expected behavior: If Admin hides a category then the user should not see a link to it to begin with.

      Possible fix: add to the navbar method of core_renderer (outputrenderers) a condition on the node's display property

      if (!$item->display) {
      		 
          continue;
      		 
      }
