Hi David

Give this a try:
http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/joomla-acl-tutorial-for-allowing-one-person-to-modify-only-one-category/

That was written a while ago and there's an extra permission now.

You'll also need to go to Site > Global Configuration > Permissions and give the new user group permission to "Access Administration Interface"

But I want to be able to have a non-technical user be able to edit the content for a category of Articles assigned to them, but don't want anything else visible to them so they don't become confused or start to mess around with things which could screw up the pages. Before anyone tells me that the user should go through training and learn how to manage things so this doesn't happen, while I would agree, that isn't the case this time.
