Default mediawiki doesn't have that. Are you sure that is not coming from an extension, or something manually added to the MediaWiki:Sidebar config page.

>ability to hide these sidebar categories depending on user access level

Extension:DynamicSidebar could maybe do that. If you mean collapse by default based on group using the vector collapsible sidebar extension, you'd probably have to do custom js programming (user groups can be accessed in js via  )
