With Taxonomy Access Control I can hide categories for certain users in the "add content" web interface. But I am not able to hide those categories in Windows Live Writer as well (with use of the Blog API (XMLRPC)). With the Blog API it is always possible to post in all categories, also the categories a user is not allowed to post in. Is this a bug or do I have to change a setting?

Thanks for the help!

TAC uses the Forms API to remove disallowed terms from the node form. Since the Blog API module bypasses the node form and instead accesses functions from the Taxonomy module directly, I can't think of a clean way for TAC to restrict access to terms through it. You would have to hack the Blog API module.

Alternately, a patch could be submitted to Blog API to use settings from TAC. Unfortunately, it won't work the other way around.
