Hi,
I have set up access control as follows.
1. customer - can view one category within my catalog
2. wholesale - can view two category within my catalog
3. anonymous user - cannot see any category

When I am anonymous user, the setting act as intended, but if I login as customer, the setting not working at all. I can see both category just as wholesale role can. Is this a bug ?
I checked both user to make sure they have appropreate role.

looks like when I grant permission to 3rd role, its not working. It is very flaky and I don't know how to problem solve. Hope someone can help me with solving this problem.
Please see attached screenshot. With this settings, Customer and wholesale user was OK. administrator can see all of the catalog which shouldn't.

finally got it. everything works except administrator. administrator role always can view everything by default? if so, why select box in setting page????

Anyone with permission to administer tac_lite will be able to see all content.

Its important to realize that tac_lite (and all Drupal access control modules) function by granting access to content which a user would otherwise not see. If, via permissions or hook_access or what have you, the user can already see the node, tac_lite will not take that privilege away from the user.
