Is it possible to simplify the new event page or to hide some elements. Basically our events coordinator wants to add events but is not computer savey. What I want to do is create a new event page where they can add dates and description but not have access to tickets and other settings. I will add them later if required.

Hi there,
Currently, we don’t have an option to slim down the event editor but I’m curious how this would work. If you allow users to add only dates with tickets then the current ticket(s) on the event would apply to every DateTime, do you not need to manage limits on specific dates etc?
It really depends on the user case if this will work, but I’ve seen some users use a form through something like Ninja Forms to create a form the user can use to request changes which you (the admin) then applies.
Would that work for you here?

I note I can add and remove screen elements. This basically what I want to be able to do. However, need to be able to restrict what elements our events manager sees when he logs on but I need them all. Is there any way to do this ?

The screen options are saved per user, so if you have your own account and they have their own account you set screen options independently.
So log into their account (if they don’t have one, either create one for them or create one for yourself), set the screen options and log out.
When they log in they’ll see whatever you left visible previously.
Is that what you are looking for?

Yep that is basically what I wont. However I want to be able to prevent the other user from reverting back. I have set capabilities for the other account but I can not find any way to prevent access to critical setup parameters.

You’ll need a snippet to remove the screen options:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/d873917590646da70303b513f6c92a43
That uses a user ID of 1 but you can either adjust that to suit or use a capability check.
You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/
I have set capabilities for the other account but I can not find any way to prevent access to critical setup parameters.
What are you defining as ‘critical setup parameters’ here?

I am looking to allow only an event description, Date, Category, and a yes no for tickets. I don’t want to allow access to ticket settings layout changes etc. Basically I just want our events coordinator to add basic information that will

Looks like the above reply may be missing some additional info?
In any case, we don’t have anything within Event Espresso to allow you to limit the output of the event editor further than what is on those screen options.
You’ll need something custom to do the above.
