How Do I Create a User Role that Can Only CRUD a Single Content-type?

Question

OK, so I know how to create roles and messed around with the People->Permissions->Roles screen. My goal is to create a single user role that will have only one function -- to administer the calendar events for the client site.

The first thing I did was to create a view to act as the overview of the available content. I added in the Login Destinations module and set it to send the user directly to the Events content overview view.

I checked the following role permissions at the Node level as:

• Access the content overview page
• View published content
• View own unpublished content
• View content revisions
• Revert content revisions
• Delete content revisions

And at the content-type node itself:

• Calendar Event: Create new content
• Calendar Event: Edit own content
• Calendar Event: Edit any content
• Calendar Event: Delete own content
• Calendar Event: Delete any content

So, when I log in as my event administrating user, I am redirected to the overview page, as expected. But when I click on the link to the node, I get this:

"You are not authorized to access this page."

So, my question is two-fold. 1) Is there a better way (read: built-in) to implement the "overview" of the content that I'm not aware of? 2) Am I using the People->Permissions->Roles as designed? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Scott.

The Permissions section is broken out across content types. You can create a new group, put that user into it, and give that group permission to CrUD one or more content types. Allow this user no other permission in any other content type (outside of calendar).

To overcome the 'overview' page problem, is View published content checked?
