    As per this page, I know that a user needs the edit_event_categories capability in order to add their events to a specific category.

    What I am trying to accomplish is having 3 categories for users to put their events in (drink special, food specials, music events) and not allowing any other categories. Is there any way to enforce this kind of restriction? When I give my users edit_event_categories they’re allowed to add their own categories if they so choose.

    The only thing I can think to do is try to hook into the “add event category” page in my theme and kick out any non-admin user but even that won’t stop them from adding a category from the “Add Event” page will it?

    Actually, now that I’ve added the edit_event_categories capability the user still can’t add events to the premade categories in the back end.

    I’m afraid that this is not possible out of the box at the moment however maybe you can try other wp role plugin such role-scoper
