We try to create a frontend Content form for different Usergroups wich are only allowed to special post categories.
We work with Access and toolset forms.
The normal post Content creation and editing form was no problem.
But to show - related to Access-Groups - the categories was difficult

Is there a way to handle these problem?

There's not an easy way to filter the category options in a Form input based on User group. The best approach here is to use different Forms for each User group, and use generic fields to display different category options to each User group. Then use the Forms API to apply the correct terms to each post.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
Maybe it make sense to place these possibility for the future in the enhancement List of Forms.
