Question about Team Area Hierarchy

I have setup my team areas in a hierarchy as follows:
department A
Team 1
Team 2
Team 3

The categories for my projects are associated with the team directly like so:

category1 --> team 1
category2 --> team 2
category3 --> team 3

I have created Work items against each of these teams.

When I run a query against department A, I cannot see any of the work items associated with the teams.
Is what I am doing correct? Is there anything different I should be doing?

Also, I have created plans for the teams fine and I can see the work items for each team. I thought if I create a plan for department A, I should see all work items associated with all of the teams. Instead, I got the following error when I double click on the department's plan: " there are no categories associated with the team Area. Is there a good reference on how the Team Area Hierarchy is supposed to work?
Any info would help,
Thanks.

The query for "Team Area is 'departmentA'" will only return work items
that directly belong to 'departmentA', but not the ones that belong to a
sub-team.
You would have to check the sub-teams in the query to see all work items
of the teams.

Thank you Patrick for your reply,
Any idea about the second part of this post:

I have created plans for the teams fine and I can see the work items for each team. I thought if I create a plan for department A, I should see all work items associated with all of the teams. Instead, I got the following error when I double click on the department's plan: " there are no categories associated with the team Area. Is there a good reference on how the Team Area Hierarchy is supposed to work?

I probably should make a separate post for this second part of this post.

Is is possible to restrict who can change states based on role and state? Not seeing how this is done in the process configuration. Pretty basic feature, so I assume it is supported....

I have organized my categories in the same hierarchy as the teams. In your example, you would have a category A and make your other categories children of this category A (which is associated with development A).
Having this structure, my plans work exactly as you expected it.
