I've just come back to Drupal after being away from it for a few years and have a basic question. I want to control what some users have access to when they create content. It seems that the module "Edit Authoring Information" might do this (at least partially) but this does not seem to be available in Version 6. In fact I also want to disable things like Comment Settings, Input Format etc to make entering Content as simple as possible for selected users.
Can anyone prod me in the right direction to look to do this?
TIA.

If I understand you
If I understand you correctly, you can do much of this in permissions. You can let a user create his own page, but not edit his own page, for example. Same with comments: you can turn off comments for any given content type by editing the content type itself (admin/content/node-type/page). You can set a default input format for a specific role as well. You can probably use CSS (i.e., display: none) to hide the input format guidelines at the bottom of a content type.
