How do I grant another user partial capabilites to create events in the backend without giving them wordpress admin rights?

Hi Shane,

EE4 checks the users capabilities assigned to the account to see if they should have access to a specific area of EE or not.

So to give users access to EE but not WordPress you’ll need to create a role with the capabilities you require, then assign the users to that role.

If you install a plugin such as User Role Editor, create a new role within that and you can view all of the capabilities available for EE, they all begin with ‘ee_’

It depends on what you want the user to access as to which capabilities you need. For example should these users only have access to their own specific events (in which they created) or view all event within the system?

Here is an example of 2 roles for working within EE – http://take.ms/p2MU8

Activating that plugin will add 2 new roles, ‘Event Manager’ and ‘Events Organiser’.

An Event Organizer has the same access to EE as the admin, but not WordPress.

Event Mangers can manage their events, but not others.

Does that help?
