Category Manager (wbutil-CategoryManager)
This view of the CategoryService allows you to create, enable and delete the groups that the security model uses to control
access to the objects in a station. Once you create categories, you use the Category Browser view to centrally assign system objects to categories. Or, at the individual component level, you use a component’s Category Sheet view to assign the component to one or more categories.
You can assign an object to many categories at the same time. Each object stores its own categories.
