   Hi

   I want to know if there is a way, to allow a specific author to post on a specific category. I have several authors and I want them ONLY to be able to post in their own category, and not in the others.

   Is there a way do do it?

   Thanks!

   This looks promising, although it looks as if it might have a bit of a learning curve as well. Might be worth at least a good read.

   Hi Thank you both, for your help!

   The plugin user-cats-mannager seemed to be what I needed, but i can't seem to get it going, and besides it appears to hide all categories from the front end to all "unloged" users. And this cannot happen.

   I tried role-scoper, and it is indeed a bit more complicated, but in the end it's exactyly what i needed. Haven't tested it thorougly but is seems to be it.

   I run a small local community portal, where i wish to give the featured institutions the ability to edit and populate the posts in their own category, but ONLY in their own category, and this seems to do the trick!

   Thanks again for your help,

   Cheers!
