I want a general event manager to take care of creating event, etc. So I did that with user role editor. But how can I achieve that I can choose a person to be responsible for an event without granting editor permisson? Otherwise they want show up in the dropdown menu to be choosen – hence no event author.

Hi Joachim,
I’m not quite following this. Is this a case where you want them to get email notifications for the event, but do not want them to be able to actually edit the event?

Hi Joachim,
You can do that by creating a custom message template and then adding their email to the TO field after the existing shortcode.
We have a tutorial on how to create a custom message template here and assign it to an event:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-create-a-custom-message-template/
Enter the email in the TO field in this format:
[EVENT_AUTHOR_FORMATTED_EMAIL],hello@example.com

Hi Lorenzo,
that’s not exactly what I want because I want emails to the different people running an event. If I give them the role of an author this is done automatically by [EVENT_AUTHOR_FORMATTED_EMAIL]. But that is only working by granting them at least the author role and then, if I don’t want them to bothered by dashbord menu items, etc, i.e. keep them out of this, I have to block the dashboard or something like this using a plugin.
Anyway I did it and gave them all author role and find out how they will cope with it.
Generally spoken I would like to have a solution (in form of a role, or something else) that will make people appear in the drop down menu in the event author without giving them edit rights for their own posts.
But for the time being this is solved for me.
Thanks Joachim

Hi Joachim,
You could use the the capabilities system to create a restricted login:

Also, on the prior suggestion with custom email templates, if there are multiple event admins, then you can add additional emails like this:
[EVENT_AUTHOR_FORMATTED_EMAIL],hello@example.com,hi@example.com
