Answers.Text: Well, I'm using an entry form, so the user needs the permission to create entries in that channel or it won't save (I think). If I didn't need to have that permission on, I'd turn it off to hide the entries from them.Another issue, is that I need these entries to be tied to this user, so I'm using their ID to set them as the author. I guess I could use the Guest Entries plugin and use their ID into a related field, but I was hoping for something on the side of viewing the entries in the CP, than changing out the form controller.

  There’s no way to give a user group permission to create entries but not see those entries they created in the CP.
  
  The only way to achieve what you want would be to write a plugin that provides its own “save-entry” controller action, which allows users to create the entries without actually having the permission. The [Guest Entries](https://github.com/pixelandtonic/GuestEntries) plugin would be a good starting point - it has a [GuestEntriesController](https://github.com/pixelandtonic/GuestEntries/blob/master/guestentries/controllers/GuestEntriesController.php) with an `actionSaveEntry()` method that behaves very similar to Craft’s built-in EntriesController::actionSaveEntry(), but it skips the normal permission-based authorization logic.
  
  In your case you might still want some level of authorization. For example, you can verify that there’s a currently logged-in user, and that they belong to a certain group. If that’s the case you’ll want to **not** add this line:
  
  ```php
  protected $allowAnonymous = true;
  
  ```
  
  And at the top of your `actionSaveEntry()` method, add this:
  
  ```php
  $user = craft()->userSession->getUser();
  
  if (!$user->isInGroup('authors'))
  {
      throw new HttpException(403, Craft::t('This action may only be performed by authors.'));
  }
  
  ```
