You can start from my Limit Categories plugin, which limits all users 
under a certain level to posting in predefined categories.  It would be 
a short step to specify restrictions by individual users - in fact, 
somewhat had told me they made these customizations for their own site.

You must do all of the configuration in the plugin file currently, since 
I had anticipated some user profile extensions (metadata for user 
accounts) that never came to pass.

The Limit Categories plugin is here:
