 * I am using dazzling. Like it But I want to set up child theme for a columnist
   so he can have control over his page without bothering the rest of the site. 
   I can see how to do this for 2013, I hope I can do it for dazzling.

 * Child Theme is used to overwrite Parent theme, which means that you can add custom
   styling and functionality to theme that will be update proof.
 * If i understood you correctly, you are looking to limit user permissions (Administrator,
   Editor, Subscriber etc.) but these are WordPress related things and can’t be 
   controlled via Child/Parent theme.
 * There are many plugins that allow you to create custom permission as well.
 * Let me know if this helps.

 * The fix was to make a new installation in a new directory. The downside is that
   menus and event calendar is not carried over. there are no plug ins that do what
   I needed.
