If you would be willing to share how you did that I would be really greatful.
What if the user/group had access to post to more than one category? Do you think I could extend the events type to include a drop down of categories that the user can post to? I have no idea how to go about doing this, but if my category tree matches my nav tree then whatever nav areas they have access to would equal whatever categories they could post to. In theory it seems like it would work. I'm amazed that there isn't already a way to more granularly secure event posting. I hope your willing to share what you've done...It could at least get me moving in the right directions.
