I was hoping that categories in jEvents would work like article categories with respect to authorization. On my site I have several category blogs. I have a user group that is authorized to create, edit, and publish articles for each category. I do not authorize those user groups to global article authority in the site configuration articles permission area because that grants authority to all articles, and that is not what I want. This works nicely. I tried to do the same with jEvents categories. I have a user group that is authorized to create, edit, and publish events to each jEvents category. I did not authorize those user groups in the jEvents global configuration permissions because that grants authority to all jEvents categories which is not what I want. Unfortunately, unless I grant global jEvents authority to the user group, the user is not allowed to create, edit, or publish events in any category, even if the category grants specific permission.

So, how do I grant authority to a single user group to create, edit, and publish events to a single jEvents category when there are multiple jEvents categories defined.

We found that not offering global access and then checking the categories was EXTREMELY slow within Joomla so we had to go the other way of allowing event creation permissions and then disabling these permissions within specific categories.

So, that being the case, and since decline overrides all other authorizations, how can I authorize two or three categories without having to create additional user groups. With the number of categories we potentially have and the changing responsibilities, the number of user groups we would need to cover all the possibilities increases exponentially. The administration required to manage that would be totally unacceptable.

I am looking again at implementing the permissions the other way around. This would be subject to a config option since it has a potential impact on site performance - watch out for the next release of JEvents 3.2.x
