Hello, could you provide more information about what you mean about your "existing hidden category"? What do the permissions look like? Additionally, it would be helpful if you have an idea of what that ticket bot is doing to provide manual steps to reproduce the issue. Thanks

role @everyone is denied View Channel perm on the entire category, while the specific user is granted View Channel permission only on their respective ticket channel through perms overrides.

Is there anything else? I am not able to reproduce this issue with just these permission changes.

CR: Canary Desktop 2026.1101.10907, Web 2026.1101.35229, Linux 7.2.11-200.fc44.x86_64 (x64), Electron 44.10.0, Chrome 152.0.7977.169, Node 24.22.1, Locale en-US on the main fluxer.app instance. The specific steps that need to happen to reproduce this manually are: Account A = Admin Account B = User
  1. Account A creates a channel category
  2. Account A sets the channel category permission to deny View channel to @everyone
  3. By this point, Account B needs to open the community and be looking at it
  4. Account A clicks to create a channel inside the category
  5. Click the radio button for Private channel and fill out a name
  6. Grant a specific user or role access to the channel
  7. Account B will see no change to the channel list until refresh
This issue does not get reproduced if you create a channel inside the category and subsequently change the channel's permissions at that stage. You must initially create the channel as a Private channel for this to occur. It's likely the bot used in the initial report is doing something similar to this. I am guessing clients are set to automatically refresh channel visibility on any permission change, but are not refreshing when new channels are created in categories they already cannot see.
