Answer 1

You can simply loop through it with three nested foreach() loops, like so:
$arr = // your array;
echo "<ul>";
foreach($arr as $setting => $nested) {
echo "<li>$setting<ul>";
foreach($nested as $category => $nested2) {
echo "<li>$category</li><ul>";
foreach($nested2 as $view) {
echo "<li>$view</li>";
}
echo "</ul></li>";
}
echo "</ul></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
The only problem with this is that it might print out unnecessary (empty) <ul>s, and that the <ul>s default to different bullet types (easy to fix with CSS though).
Test it out at PHP Sandbox or at Ideone. Here is the output provided:
<ul><li>setting<ul><li>menu category</li><ul><li>menu category view</li></ul></li><li>group</li><ul><li>group view</li></ul></li><li>deposits</li><ul></ul></li><li>group menu</li><ul><li>group menu array</li></ul></li><li>menu</li><ul><li>menu view</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>
