I would like to use the app to allow our members to view our events. Is it possible to allow access to this without giving access to check in and attendees. I appreciate the app is primarily for check in. However, it would be very useful to be able to access an events list on a mobile.

Thanks
Phil

Yes if you give the member account role these capabilities:

ee_read_events
ee_read_others_events
ee_read_venues
ee_read_others_venues

then they’ll have access to only event information.

You can use a plugin like User Role Editor or Members to edit the capabilities for user roles.

Thanks.
I have worked through the trouble shooter and all is fine. I therefore through trial and error switched on/off various controls. I have found that the app will only work with EE read check-in and EE read registration selected along with those you suggested.What do these attributes give access to ? where can i find a list of what each control does. Thanks Phil

This Google Doc has a number of worksheets that lists all of them. May I ask are you using the Android app or the iOS app when you test that member account?

I am using the Android Version of the app.

I’ve found that the Android version works if the user account has only these capabilities:

ee_read_events
ee_read_others_events
ee_read_venue
ee_read_venues
ee_read_others_venues

If I try to view Attendee lists with that account then, as expected, it will display “Sorry, you are not allowed to list registrations.”.
