Allow a member to edit a specific piece of content visible to everyone.

Is there a way to use the members app that would allow a member to edit a form field, and this field would be visible to everyone, including non members elsewhere on the site?

Use case - Allow a third party to make a small predefined change on a site. eg, A listing of 25 restaurants and each restaurant has a 'specials' board. restaurant_1 can log as a member and has a tag of 'restaurant_1' As part of their profile they have a 'specials' field. Once updated, this field could then be displayed in their restaurant page template.

The Members app doesn't offer that currently. Members can change their profiles, but not publish content.

Thanks Drew, I had originally looked at using the ACL and setting users and roles to allow a third party to edit a content region. However that gives them unacceptable access to the resources on the site.
