Is WP admin required to use ticketing app?

We have volunteers who want to setup the ticketing app to check in people on the day of the event.

They are editors or authors but cannot login to EE via ticketing app.

Administrators can login from iPhone/iPad and all is working great.

We have EE Basic Roles/Permissions but don’t want to assign these people to Event Admins as they only need to scan tickets on the day of the event.

I gave WP Editor rights to espresso_event_admin and espresso_event_manager but he still couldn’t access???

Set me straight please ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi Bob,

Only admins have access.

You could use a plugin such as Advanced Access Manager to give users Admin role but strip them of capabilities (capabilities basically give each user permission to do things like update core, edit posts, delete users etc).

Thanks I’ll add the plugin so I can change a few users to admin without them doing any damage ๐Ÿ™‚

With Access Manager can I create another level of Administrator and remove access?

I don’t want to edit Administrator group as that would lock me out.

Does EE only look for “Administrator” or any group with those rights?

I can manually edit each person but I wanted to ask.

Hi Bob,

Don’t edit the role, edit the user and change their rights individually. Screenshot http://take.ms/gDbo7

I took an admin user and stripped them of everything but Read access and they could log in to the app fine and scan.

I would also recommend the User Switching plugin so you can easily swap between users to make sure they are set how you want, without having to continually log out and in.

We have 4-6 people who are going to help with check in for 300 plus people within 30-60 minutes.

Instead of editing 4-6 users how about creating one account and have everyone use the same login????

Hi Bob,

I haven’t tested multiple logins from the same account but in theory it should work.
