Hi Marc,

as Jason says you can use the sharing (docs
<https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/sharing.html>) solution for
this by sharing each category option (representing e.g. partners)
appropriately. This can be done in many ways depending on the level of
complexity of your organization. At its very basic level, you can create
one user group per implementing partner, then share each partner category
option with read access to the appropriate user group. This way, when
partners log into data entry, they will only see the category options in
the category drop-down which are relevant to them.

Sharing can easily grow complex so it is advisable to keep things simple
and think through the design up front (as always).

regards,

Lars
