Settings to allow members to upload to ONE category only

Eventually I'll figure this out and I may be making it harder than it needs to be but I cannot seem to get this. I think my situation is common.

1) I have many categories and I do not want members uploading to these.
2) I am creating one category called "Member's Photos" where I want each member to have one sub-category for their own photos.

Question: What are the proper settings for this configuration?

-------------------------------
Usergroup Permissions > Registered Users > Can Upload Images "Yes"
This allows members to upload into any category. Even categories where I have selected "No" for Category is Open For Images. OK I just noticed this is wrong. Members cannot upload to a category where "No" is selected for "Open For Images" - but then it closed to the administrator too. This won't do.
-------------------------------
Usergroup Permissions > Registered Users > Can Upload Images "No"
Members cannot upload photos, even to the Member's Category. Yes, I have selected Act As Members' Category.
-------------------------------
Should I be changing the category or usergroup settings? Both probably. Any help appreciated.
