Hello, I’ve read the Documentation associated with the Basic and Pro versions of the Permissions add-on. I am still confused as to whether a certain functionality I want to achieve is possible with the Pro version.
“Enable sharing of categories between users?: Allows categories to be shared with all staff. If set to no, categories will be on a per staff member basis.”
Does this mean I can restrict what Categories certain Event Managers can make events for? I would like to allow only Class Managers to post new Class category events, and Community Managers to only be able to post to Community events.
I believe answered my last question a few months ago, any input would be much appreciated! The documentation seems a bit brief and vague on this area.
Wordpress: 3.8.1
EE3: 3.1.36.5.P

Hi Jerry,
By default an event manager will only have access to their own categories. If that setting is enabled, then this information will be shared amongst all event managers.
You will not be able to restrict specific event categories.

Thank you for your input Lorenzo! If restricting categories is out of the question, would a logging mechanism be included or easily hooked into that can be combined with the Admin Approval option to ensure no “funny business” goes on between mid-level management?

Hi Jerry, are you looking for something that helps with an audit trail in WordPress?

Ah, I tried Simple History a while ago but wasn’t too impressed (plus it doesn’t register EE3 events at all), do you have another suggestion?

Hi, I’m not aware of any plugins that currently provide an audit trail for Event Espresso 3. I ran some searches and discovered Stream:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/stream/
However, it appears that it has built-in support for certain plugins for WordPress.

Thank you for your reply Lorenzo! My last query on the Roles and Permissions Addon is:
Would there be an email sent on Event creation to notify Admins of pending approval needed? Is your the code straightforward enough to hook into and customize my own email if necessary?

Thank you for your reply Lorenzo! My last query on the Roles and Permissions Addon is:
“Events created by “Event Managers” require approval?: Selecting yes will mean the Admin will need to authorise an event created by Event Managers, before it will be published and go live. If set to No, the events will be published as normal.”
Would there be an email sent on Event creation to notify Admins of pending approval needed? Is your the code straightforward enough to hook into and customize my own email if necessary?

Hi, when an event manager publishes an event it is saved with a status of pending. It does not send an email out to the administrators.
