Hi Adam,
I had the same issue a while ago with the IFEX site. I accidentally
deleted a category, but couldn't re-create it (because the UI said the
URI was already taken), so I set it to active in the database. (I
suspect the same thing is what happened to you.)
Everything worked fine for global admins (because their permissions
don't get checked), but other users couldn't use that category, because
the record in grp was still inactive. Your fix was the same as mine.
There's a "Site $n Category Assets" record in grp for every category. So
making sure you reactivate both records is key to successfully bringing
back a deleted cat.
The "permanent" entries in grp are for infrastructure groups, such as
"All Contributors." I'm a little cloudier on "secret," but I think it
means groups that are hidden from user control, but manipulated by
Bricolage itself.
Hope this helps,
Bret
