I’vve license for Event Espresso 4 and want to customize access to users such as event managers. However, the User Role editor for Event Espresso is supported and available only for version 3. Could you please share how could I provide this functionality in Event Espresso 4? Also, feel free to recommend 3rd party plugins if required.

Hello,

The capabilities system for Event Espresso 4 can help with creating a restricted role for login:

This Google sheet has the various capabilities:

Here is an example:

Lets say you wanted a specific user with a specific role (e.g. author) to be able to create and edit their own events. These capabilities would be needed and you could use a free plugin like Members from Justin Tadlock to add the capabilities:

ee_read_event
ee_read_private_events
ee_read_events
ee_edit_event
ee_edit_published_events
ee_edit_private_events
ee_edit_events

They would not be able to edit other events because they do not have access to the following:

ee_edit_others_events

If you wanted to grant the user access to editing events that they have not created, then the above capability would be needed as well.
