    I’ve found a number of plugins for limiting the permissions for various roles (Administrator, Author, Contributor, Editor, etc.), but none that limit a specific user to creating posts only in a specific category/catgories. Anybody know of a solution for this?

    Yeah, I installed that one already, but I don’t see anything in it that allows you to restrict a specific username to creating posts in a specific category. Am I missing something?

    Ah. I figured it out using Role Scoper. First, you have to go into Category Restrictions and restrict all categories for an entire role (in my case, Post Contributor), then go into Category Roles, select a specific user and select the category in which you want to give them permission to create a new post.

    Not quite what I wanted, but it’ll do. Be nice, though, if you could just go into a specific user’s profile and assign that user to a specific category.
