No category-field should be visible if the user doesnt have permissions to see any of the categories in it

[Angamanga]

Current behaviour

If a user tries to add to a survey with a category-field where there are no categories visible for that user, the field-heading + a select-all option is visible

Steps to reproduce the behaviour/error

1. make sure you are logged out try adding a post to a survey with a category-field where all the categories are limited to for example admins
2. You see the field-heading and the select-all option only.

Expected behaviour

If a user tries to add to a survey with a category-field where there are no categories visible for that user, the field should not be visible at all.

Fixing this issue

I think checking if categories.length is >0 in the first div of app/common/directives/category-selector.html should fix this issue, but I haven't tried it.

Implementation notes

• Fix in https://github.com/ushahidi/platform-client repo

• Hint 💡 The code handling the category selector can be found here: https://github.com/ushahidi/platform-client/tree/develop/app/common/directives/category-selector.html

@Angamanga Is the expected behavior for this as you have explained on the issue what you meant? That if there no categories there should not be a category field type present on the list?If so, i do not have any categories on my deployment and i can still see the category field type
