### :question: What are my options?

As a platform admin, you can:

* Create, manage, and delete categories for end-users.
* Configure each category with:
  * **Icon and Name**
  * **Access Permissions:** Who can use this category to search items
  * **Addition Permissions:** Who can add the category to items
* Organize categories by creating parent categories and subcategories or repositioning categories.

### :bulb: Good to know

* Currently, categories are only available for spaces. To extend this feature, share your feedback [here](https://github.com/Meeds-io/meeds/issues/new/choose).
