Hey David,

You can configure category specific permissions when you edit the category. Take a look at my screen shot here, http://take.ms/aWN6L

Hi Mark,
The way you describe is based on user groups. What I want to do is restrict at Author level.
So for instance I want to restrict some authors only to be able to post in the category they own and nothing else.
is this possible?

To put some context into my question.
We use Easyblog as an online newspaper. so you can think of the categories as sections in the newspaper

• News
  
International
Business
Arts
Sports

Each section has a reporter who writes in their own section of the newspaper but not other sections

• News by John Smith
  
International by Peter Perfect
Business - by Sally Simpson
Arts - by Ann Arty
Sports - Ben John

So John Smith can write in News, but not the other sections....
Does this make sense of what we are try to achieve?

Thanks for took your time to described as what is your current requirement, unfortunately that was not possible to achieve this but perhaps you can try this following method and see if this can be achievable for your current requirement?

1. Create multiple sub user group in you site.
2. Assign those new sub user group to your site author
3. Assign specific Joomla user group for each of your categories based on what you described at above
4. So when the user open the composer, it will only render those user who has permission to post in those categories on the site.

Arlex,
Thanks for work around. I will try it and come back to you in a few days.
I can see this will work.
However I will maybe open up a "future request" to allow categories to be restricted to one or more users. I am sure there must be other Easyblog users who would need this kind of feature.
KInd regards
David
