 Currently for the 6.4 release Author users are able to add new categories,
 but although pattern categories are a flat taxonomy they should behave
 like a hierarchical taxonomy and only allow creation by users with the
 manage taxonomy permissions.

 There is a Gutenberg PR open to fix this
 (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55379), and the REST API
 changes will need to be made also in core.
