Hi! I have a questions about the add-on R&P Pro. I have a client that has 30 different accounts installed on their WP site. They want a function for each account to post and edit their own events, in one category only. Right now I have the basic version, and I wonder if this is possible to get this thing working with the Pro version? Is it possible to create one user-role for each account or how does it work? Cause right now they can read, edit and delete all of the events in the list and that is not an option for me.

//Kris!

Pro doesn’t give you the ability to add an infinite number of roles. Pro adds 2 new roles so you can further fine-tune the restrictions and make it so event managers cannot edit other event managers’ events. There aren’t any plugins that I know of that would allow you to restrict access to post in a specific category. That I know of, there’s no WordPress capability that corresponds to that.

There is one plugin that can solve the category problem, and that’s Role Scoper. I got it working using other plugins with custom taxonomy. But I don’t think EE use regular taxonomy, because I’ve tried with Role Scoper already, and it didn’t recognize any event categories.

But the pro version seems to solve half of the problem, if you set all the accounts to Event managers, they can only edit, delete and create their own events, and if I got it right they only see their own events in the list, right?

Hey Krzysztof,

Yes thats correct, Event Managers can only see the events they created.

Is there a way to allow Staff assigned to a particular event the ability to view the attendee roster for that event, but not edit the event or the attendees?

Hi Greg,

This is possible by placing the [LISTATTENDEES] shortcode on a page. The event_identifier parameter will let you display the list of attendees for a specific event.

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#attendee-list

Then you can give the staff member a link to that page.

So, if staff has acess to EE as a user, there are not any role permission options to allow them to view, but not edit, attendees from within the dashboard EE views?

The event list page in the dashboard is the same as the attendee list. The roles allow pages to be shown/hidden from Event Espresso users, but not what level of access they get. So, no, there’s no way to allow people to “look but don’t touch” certain pages (without completely restricting access to those pages).
