Thanks that's exactly what I needed to know. In order for this plan to work is there a way to set up permission structure or policy of a group or user so that they can only see or only post events if they are associated with certain categories.
For instance. This is my category structure: Academics Admissions Student Services - Student Activities I then have a user that has the ability to post events but they must associate with Student Services > Student Activities category. In our legacy system a user would log in and be able to post to their department events only I want to simulate this same environment where when you log in your can only post to the categories you have permission to post to. I know this is a sticky point but hopefully not a stopping point. I'm getting more and more comfortable in farcry but the group/policy/ permission stuff is still a big mystery to me. Thanks again for any help you can offer.
