[solved] single page permissions

I've been poking around through CMSms and have to say it feels like Christmas, this app is so exciting!  I'm very, very impressed after my experience with Interspire's WebEdit.  There are two questions I can't find answers to though:

1) Can you set permissions so that a user can only edit ONE page of the site?  I have a site with a unique password-protected "membership" page (different css, etc) where a user updates events and news.  She should only have access to this single page.

2)There's a "TIP" on the "Quick Install via FTP" section in documentation that says:
"you can FTP the installation/diff.tar.gz file to the root directory... "  but where do I find that file?

It's the same file that you would use if you were going to extract the install locally and ftp all the individual files to your server. It's just quicker (and probably more reliable) to upload the single file and get the server to extract its contents - http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/?group_id=6

Do you mean this: cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-base.tar.gz ?  I was looking for something actually called installation/diff.tar.gz .
When i tried to unzip the 1.4.1 file it didn't work.

The answer to your first question is yes. Just make sure the user is part of a user group (you might need to create one) that cannot edit all pages. Then, go to the page you want to modify and under the Options tab, you should see a select box with a list of user groups and users that can edit the page until the title of Additional Editors.
