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.
