We have a person with the role of Editor, who has created events and then can’t edit them. She gets the message, “You do not have permission to edit this event.” We also have Magic Membes installed, and I have added the Event Espresso permissions to the Editor Role (Espresso Event Admin, Espresso Event Manager, Espresso group admin), so she should, in theory, not only be able to edit her own events, but the rest of them as well, correct?
Wordpress v. 3.5.1
EE v 3.1.32.2.P
Permissions v 1.5.4

Can you try changing their role to Espresso Event Manager? You can add the editor capability to that role if you want.

I only have Event Admin as an option, not the Manager, probably because I’m using the Basic version. But even still, why can’t she edit the events she created? There is actually someone else who is the EE Admin, who usually creates the events. This role is not meant to have editor capabilities. In a perfect world, all of the people with the role of “author” would be able to create their own events on the calendar, and have the event and linking blog post approved, or edited, by the editor, but that does not seem to be an option. But it does not address the question of why someone who can create events can not edit the events she created?

Something I just noticed – if I edit the permissions through the Event Espresso interface, it shows the EE Admin has 6 Capabilities, but when I edit the role, it only shows 3 checked – espresso_event_admin, espresso_event_manager, and read. Are there hidden capabilities?

Hi Christina,
Last time I checked the standard Editor role can’t be given the capabilities to manage events with the Roles and Permissions add-on. It doesn’t have the feature set to allow for this.
You can find all the capabilities for a user by looking into the database in the usermeta table for the user. For example, there may be other plugins installed that automatically add capabilities to all users that wouldn’t get displayed in the admin configuration page.

Hi Josh, I’ll look into the database. I’m confused about this statement, “the standard Editor role can’t be given the capabilities to manage events with the Roles and Permissions add-on.” Do you mean I can’t give the Editor the “espresso_event_admin” capability? It is there to be added, but yet, it seems to only give the editor the ability to create their own events, but not edit their own, nor edit anyone elses.

Hi Christina,
While it may appear like it will work, the Event Espresso plugins do not accomodate the Editor role.

You mean, it appears there, and they can add events because it appears there, but the only people who can edit events will be people who are named, “Espresso Event Admin?” Even your own description of the plugin says, “the basic version where you can create user levels and roles with specific management access privileges,” this is not true?

Hi Christina,
I will say that the sales page needs to be clarified where it says you can create user levels. It should say user accounts and the basic version gives you the Event Espresso Master Admin Role that you can customize to allow specific Event Espresso privileges. It doesn’t accomodate the standard WordPress Editor/Author roles.
If you’re looking to customize specific user accounts to grant specific access to features of the WP site you might try the Advanced Access Manager plugin. One thing to keep in mind though is a user account needs at least admin or in the case of R&P Espresso Master admin to access all Event Espresso features.
