    Nearly all of the Sites that I have seen under ExpressionEngine make some use of Categories; either for labeling, or grouping, or navigation.  ExpressionEngine has an extremely robust category implementation, including the ability to use category URL titles, category custom fields, and conditionals based on categories.

    The next few lines in our default index template are simple, and introduce us to the tag that allows us to output the list of categories belonging to that weblog, as links to that category.  Shall we just jump right in?

    Onwards!

    How would you code a particular member or group to only see assigned categories? i.e. a marketing representative only sees his/her clients’ posts.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, rrainier - welcome to the forums.  That is a bit beyond the scope of this particular series, but I would actually recommend using different weblogs where you need different permissions.  You might post in the how-to forum with your entire goal here, to get some feedback on how to lay out the infrastructure of your site.
