Please describe your bug

I have three different 'Movie' libraries and have set-up to collate all of these into the single Movies category.
If I don't enable a user with 'full access' but still give them access to all of the libraries individually, they don't see any movies in the grouped category at all, it's just a blank grid.
I haven't tried to split out one or more of the libraries from their access to test but I suspect if it happens when they have all access individually (but not access to all libraries) breaks things, I suspect the same would create the issue
