 * There isn’t much in the way of documentation, so it’s virtually impossible to
   tell whether I am setting this up correctly. In any case, when I set up a editor
   group and assign a page to the group it doesn’t seem to make any difference: 
   I can edit both that page and any other. Conversely, when I set up the group 
   and users as an author, I cannot edit any pages. Very frustrating.

 * I think you need to assign pages not accessible to a group called “admin” or 
   similar and restrict access to that group. Basically an unassigned page is visible
   to everybody.
 * I’d like to know if it is possible to restrict a group to posting in only one
   post category and stop them from making more categories?

 * I’ve posted this problem in an earlier post [Restriction to write access only for pages fails](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-access-manager-restriction-to-write-access-only-for-pages-fails)
   and got no response until now.
 * I suspect this is a bug in the plugin.

    To stop users from creating
   new categories you have to remove the capability manage_categories from the role.
   You may use plugin User Role Editor for this.
