Hi
There is a plugin for EE3 that allowed staff to sign in to the back end of the website and administer their events and only see the EE element of the back end and only amend the events allocated to them. How do I set this up in EE4?
Thanks
Ged

Hi Ged,
Event Espresso has capabilities checks through the plugin to allow for this, you don’t need a separate plugin to do you just need the correct capabilities assigned to the user to grant/deny access to the sections you want.
We have an ‘Events Administrator’ role that allows you to grant access to Event Espresso and no other sections of WP but that won’t limit the users to their own events, for that you need something a little more.
I’ve previously created a plugin that installs 2 roles with the capabilities that might work for you here: http://take.ms/WcoqG
If you install that plugin, you’ll have 2 additional roles, ‘Event Organizer’ and ‘Events Managers’.
The Event Organizer role only has access to EE and that users events.
The Events Manager has all access to EE but no other sections of WP (it’s essentially the same as the ‘Events Administrator’ role we not have built into Event Espresso)
So you would just assign the role you want to use to the user.
Make sense?

Great thanks!!
Just need to check – how do I assign events to a member of staff? Is it using the people plugin?

Hi Ged,
In the context of giving a staff member access to administer an event you set them to be the author of the event (you can use the Author box in the event editor). If they add the event then they’re automatically set to be the Author.
