This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to restrict edit access to some posts using categories.
Solution: Access can restrict User access based on User role and post group, but not post category (or categories). Post Groups and custom User roles might work but you can only assign one Group to any Post, and only one Role to any User. If you have multiple combinations of post permissions this might not be an option. If your Users are only editing posts with CRED, then you can use conditional HTML or CRED conditionals to show or hide specific content depending on some criteria of the current User, like a custom field value. Store some value in the User's custom field and check that value to determine whether or not to show them a specific CRED form.
