I'm trying to integrate Role Scoper with Events Calendar (different from Event Calendar I believe.. this is managed by heirem.fr). This plugin has an 'add post' option that creates an associated post for the user when creating an event.

My users are having trouble with this, as they cannot edit the posts created that way. All users have editor rights on one specific category and are 'subscriber' for the rest. I believe that all posts created outside of the normal procedure, so also posts from other plugins, suffer from this problem.

Could Role Scoper check, when a new post is created, whether the creating user has rights to edit the post he just created (by whatever means), and if not, assign (maybe one-time?) editing rights to the user. This would enable users to edit the post one time, and because they cannot access category 'uncategorized', the post would automatically be put in their category by RoleScoper, as it does currently, I believe, when they edit the post.

Based on my trial with RS 1.0.8 and Event Calendar 3.1.4 by Alex Tingle, you just need to assign a Category Role of Post Author in the ec3 events category. I'm not seeing any problem getting a Subscriber with that Category Role to create and edit events. Is there something else I'm missing about your configuration?
