Hi,
Is it possible to hide some sections on Edit Event page based on User Role?
Thanks

Hi Alan,
Event Espresso checks the capabilities of the user rather the role (a role is just a collection of capabilities) but you should be able to hide some sections.
Which section do you want to remove?

Some sections such as Page Template, Custom Fields, Notifications I would prefer not to allow user to see.

Actually, I’ve been looking over the code are there are no capability checks for individual meta boxes.
However you can remove them using the example code provided here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/admin/remove_EE4_meta_boxes.php
Only remove the sections you need to remove and note that some metaboxes EE will be expecting a response from so if you remove them the event may not save so you’ll need to test each change.
You can check the capability and remove the meta-boxes if the user doesn’t have a specific cap, for example:
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) {
//Remove page_templates metabox if the user does not have 'manage_options'
//capability which would usually be an admin role.
remove_meta_box( 'page_templates', 'espresso_events', 'side' );
}

Hi Alan,
There’s some example code in our code snippet library that you can use. Please note that you will not use all of the hooks there, you use only the ones that work to remove the sections you want to remove.
