I need to have categories aligned with the polls (or vice versa) so that I can have several polls, each with their own permission according to category, accessible only to those people having permission to access that category.

Such as general polls available to all members and guests, board voting polls available only to board members, and general member polls available only to members...

Is there a way to do this within Drupal?

Thanks!

The first, and easier of the two:

Don't give the "authenticated user" role the permissions to vote on polls -- then, set up a role that can vote on polls -- assign users you want to vote on polls into roles with the appropriate role

This doesn't use taxonomy at all, but only the role based permissions.

The second way -- more complex, but with more precise control -- uses the taxonomy access control module -- you can set up different terms for your polls, and assign different roles the right to vote on each different term.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

I cannot see any option to add a poll to category. Is there a way to do this?

Yes. This was the problem.
On my page, anonymous users could not see the polls. I use the taxonomy_access module.
The problem was, that I did not give the authorization for uncategorized nodes to anonymous users. After giving it, everything worked.
So: polls does not have a category. And there is no way in 4.6.5 to give them.
