Comment (by digitwebtools):

 Hi Enps5,

 Actually, we are experiencing something similar.

 Our environment:
 * Wordpress Multisite 5.1.1 (we've been using it and upgrading it for
 years and years)
 * Table ''sitecategories'' defined
 * In table ''sitemeta'', ''global_terms_enabled'' is set to ''1''

 Steps to reproduce:
 * Create a new category "My category" THEN
 * Create a new tag "My tag" THEN
 * Create a new category with the same name of an existing tag, let's say
 "My tag" THEN
 * Create a new tag with the same name of an existing category, let's say
 "My category"

 Now it will break if you do the following:
 * Edit the category "My tag" with the name of an existing tag, you'll get
 "You need a higher level of permission. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit
 this item."
 * Edit the tag "My category" with the name of an existing category, you'll
 get "You need a higher level of permission. Sorry, you are not allowed to
 edit this item."
 * Create / edit a content and assign the category "My tag" (with the name
 of an existing tag) or assign the tag "My category" (with the name of an
 existing category) and you'll get a 403 error with the response
 {{{
 {"code":"rest_cannot_assign_term","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to
 assign the provided terms.","data":{"status":403}}
 }}}

 Best regards.
