Request: Author Category Permissions plugin

Hi,

On my site i want a “News” section and a “Rants” section. I want to make it so that only one user (myself) can add posts to News and multiple selected users with the correct permissions can add to “Rants”. I thought i could do this useing wordpress categories. So force certain authors to only post under “Rants” (and sub categories there of) and thus set those authors up as “Rants” authors.

Does a plugin to do this kinda thing exist or should i get my hacking gloves on? 🙂

Sorry i added this to the wrong section of the forum, how can i move it? 😀
