 * Can anyone suggest a way of allowing specific users restricted access to edit
   specific posts? More ideally, this would be access to a group of users but a 
   single user would be a good start.
 * I don’t think that the author of a post can be changed in Admin but it is not
   a problem to do this in phpmyadmin.
 * Just to clarify, I want to add posts as admin and then provide access so that
   a specified user(s) can modify them (but nothing else).
