catalogcategory
I have 2 store views sharing the same root category.
Is it possible to change the category structure based on store view?
If I drag the category on a store view it makes the change in the other store view.
Maybe there is a setting that I don't know.
To be clearer, I need a sub-category to have different parents based on store view, without duplicating it.
It sounds to me like it's functioning as intended. When not in any category on a site, products are still navigable where the URL is known. And if they are visible in search as well as the catalog, they will also show up in search results regardless of their presence in a category belonging to the given store. I'm not certain, but I think they will also show up in the site map under these circumstances.
Since you are now sharing logins, and the products are technically available for being displayed on the store view, the URLs will be generated or them in places such as the cart, where they might have been added from a different store view.
The drop and drag functionality is still standard in Magento.
I created a video which you can view that shows me moving two root categories into a third root category and they become sub categories and visible on the frontend.
Also, make sure your categories are active and set to display:

This is not possible by default without duplicating the sub category and setting it to display only on the Store View that you want it to display on. Note this will also effect the URL path to the products in the sub categories.
