Members can create content in any folder where they have the 'Add portal
content' permission;  in a stock CMF site, they get this permission via
having the 'Owner' role on their "My Stuff" folders (at
'/path/to/site/Members/member_id').  You can let them create content
elsewhere by granting them this role there, or by giving the 'Member'
role that permission.  The folder should have an action, "Local roles",
which makes it straightforward to add that role to a given user in a
particular folder.
