Hello, I am completely confused by the Roles and Permissions Add on for EE3.
There are two roles:
Administrator
Espresso Master Admin
The Espresso Master Admin is labeled as espresso_event_admin?
But then under that role there are capabilities such as:
espresso_event_admin
espresso_event_manager
espresso_group_admin
What I’d like to have is one master admin, me, with access to everything. Under me, I’d like to have event managers that can edit their own listings without having access to other people’s events. How can I make this happen? The documentation for Permissions and Roles is very short and not too helpful to me.
Thanks!

Hi,
There are two Roles and Permissions plugins: Basic and Pro.
Pro (which requires Basic to be installed and active) provides two additional roles: Event Manager and Regional Manager.
The Event Manager role sounds to me like what you need. It will give some one only access to EE related content, which can be further limited. As well as that they can only maintain events that they have created (unfortunately events can’t be easily assigned to someone with the Event Manager role).
The Regional Manager role is similar, but they can maintain a wider variety of events – you create a locale such as New York, and attach that to a Venue. When a venue with a locale is attached to an event, the Regional Manager can access that event).
I hope that makes things a little clearer, but fell free to ask for clarification if it doesn’t.

It seems like the Basic version should be able to handle this. There are so many options available on the permissions page but very little documentation to explain what is possible.
I would like the espresso_event_admin role to have the capability to edit their own events and not everyones. Can you guide me through those settings? The only role that should have access to all events is the Administrator.
Perhaps it would be helpful if there was an explanation of the differences between the three capabilities:
espresso_event_admin
espresso_event_manager
espresso_group_admin
thanks!

I unchecked all of the capabilities for the espresso_event_admin role and they can still edit all events.

Hi Matthew,
While it may seem like the Basic version can do what you want it to do, it’s not been programmed to. As Dean mentioned earlier, the Pro version adds the Event Manager Role (it’s not the same role as the Event Master Admin Role). Someone with the Event Manager role can only edit the events they create.
