Installed RS and played with it a bit, thought I had it working for my needs. Basically, just telling it to not allow access to a page that has a 2 stage cat/sub cat selection. Discovered that I could no longer get the sub cat selection to appear, no matter what, unless RS is deactivated. I get an ajax swirly, which disappears and the sub cat selection box never appears. This is regardless of setting back to defaults, emptying or even dropping all RS tables in db, clearing browser cache and also flushing the RS disk cache… What am I missing? Don't see that it edited .htaccess anywhere… REALLY want to use RS, as it seemed like it would work best, to suit my needs, however, now I simply can't use it at all.
I can't tell from your description what restrictions you set. Can you explain?

Basically, all that was set was to go into a page (Pages, "Rate It", Edit) and set it so that one user could not access the page, while another could not, using the Restrict sections for the various roles:
It was a really basic test. Once I thought I had that, I started playing with the teaser section, which I couldn't get to work, at all, so finally created a custom 404 page.
How were you expecting that setting to "not allow access to a page that has a 2 stage cat/sub cat selection"?
What is the "sub cat selection" that you aren't seeing? On the Add / Edit Category form? Or some type of custom template code?
I'm not seeing any problem with the Hidden Content Teaser. Are you seeing the same issues if you temporarily switch to the default theme?

I'm having a similar issue. I use a multi category dropdown plugin. I've found that even with all of the categories "Unrestricted" the sub categories don't appear.

Role Scoper filters categories based on the user's access to related posts. Normally a 'read' capability is required when listing categories on the front end, or applicable post edit capabilities when listing categories in wp-admin. Since your plugin uses a wp-admin URL to pull the subcats via Ajax, post editing capabilities were being required… thus only a logged Contributor / Author / Editor / Administrator could read them.
I've updated the Role Scoper development code (1.3.46-dev) to support your usage. Just add the following argument to your get_categories() argument array in the Ajax handler:
'required_operation' => 'read'
In other usages, pass 'edit' if the category listing pertains to posting via the front end. Also introduced is a 'is_term_admin' argument which can be set 1 or 0 force the requirement / non-requirement of $taxonomy->manage_terms. Of course, this all works for get_terms() also.
