It possible to do this by setting the staff member as the event author and creating a role on the site that only has access to ‘their’ events but that can only work for the event author.
So how are you ‘assigning staff’ to the events currently?
I haven’t been assigning staff to events yet, at the moment I produce a register which I give to people manually. I’d like to be able to automate it though so that staff can view their own registers online – but if I give them access to the whole system it’ll be too much for them and they will never find what they need!
I have been looking at the “People Admin” plugin, which you can use to assign staff to events, but I’m not sure that this actually does what I need it to.
So it sounds like using the Event Author function is what I need to do. Would I set their User Role as Events Administrator when setting them up as a new user?
You could give them the Events Administrator role, and unmodified that role will give them access to all events. You can use a plugin like User Role Editor or Members to edit the role so those user accounts only have access to their events. More information here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/event-espresso-4-roles-permissions/
Summary: You’ll remove any of the ee_read_others_* and ee_edit_others_* capabilities from the custom user role.
