I'm having issues allowing certain users permissions to certain objects.

Intention:-
Allowing user 'jdoe' create & modify permissions on Tracker 'Client Register'
Note that 'jdoe' belongs to 'Registered' Group & 'Client Register' is 1 of 5 Trackers.
'Registered' Group does not have assigned - tiki_p_create_tracker_items; tiki_p_modify_tracker_items

Procedure:-

1. Create Category 'Trackers'
2. Create Group 'Edit Trackers'. (Note:- include 'Registered' Group & 'Default category assigned etc'.... None.)
3. To Category 'Trackers' assign following permissions to Group 'Edit Trackers'
- tiki_p_edit_categorized; tiki_p_search_categorized; tiki_p_view_categories; tiki_p_view_categorized
(Note that tiki_p_admin_categories was not added so user can't add objects to category etc.)
4. Add Tracker 'Client Register' to Category 'Trackers'
5. Assign following permissions to Group 'Edit Trackers'
- tiki_p_create_tracker_items; tiki_p_modify_tracker_items
(Note that tiki_p_admin_tracker was not added so user can't delete fields etc.)
6. Add 'jdoe' to Group 'Edit Trackers'.

Expected result:-
User 'jdoe' would have create & modify permissions to Tracker 'Client Register' only.
Other users in 'Registered' Group would be able to list all trackers but not be able to create or modify.

Actual result:-
User 'jdoe' has create & modify permissions to all Trackers.
Other users in 'Registered' Group can list all trackers other than the categorised one and are not able to create or modify.

What do I have to do to achieve expected result ?

Cheers
