 * In most basic terms I want complete restricted access, and I want to allow access
   for role groups. So what I’ve done is I’ve set all the restrictions (page, posts,
   and categories) to restricted. Then I defined the categories restriction to work
   for my particular group (the WP role is Subscriber). When I log in as that user,
   I do not see the category listed on the category widget, and nothing is showing
   up on the main blog (nothing found). What am I doing wrong? Do I have too much
   restriction? Anything I need to check?

 * Setting Post Restrictions means roles must be assigned per-post, not just per-
   category. I think what you really want is just Category Restrictions and Category
   Roles.
