Hide Category based on User assignment

Is there a way to hide Categories where the user is NOT assigned?
For example... I have 2 categories, namely: Category A and Category B. I assigned Category A to User A (as an admin). So, when User A logged in I want to hide Category B and just show Category A which is assigned to him. Is this possible?
Thanks

You can change the menu's and category's access level, but it won't work for Super Users.

Can you please elaborate a bit more?
[Let me correct my question] My question is ONLY for admin, both the categories will be visible to all public/registered user.

For the rest of the users, you can setup new Joomla! user groups and restrict access to the categories you want.

I set up two user group in K2 and called "Group 1" and "Group 2". I assigned Category A to Group 1 and Category B to Group 2. Next I create a new user called "User 1" and assigned to K2 user group "Group 1". But when I logged in as User 1 and when I try to post a new item I can still see Category B.
What I would like to have is when I logged as User 1, I should be able to see only Category A (and can post only to this category)

By the way, I want to control K2 categories (based on K2 user group), not menu items.

That would require a custom extension. If you have the budget that is what I would recommend.

Will you be able to help if I want the custom extension? If so, can I PM you?
