Limited access to view backend ticket attendee info for the instructor

[Vayu Robins]

Hi.
We are looking into using the Event Tickets Plus for a new website where it will be possible to buy tickets to music classes. We need for the teacher/instructor to be able to login and view the attendees list and check them off for each class. But the teacher does not need access to the entire admin area, only view the attendees list and check attendees as they arrive.
Is this possible?

Hello, Vayu!

Thank you for considering The Events Calendar! I can help with this ?

While we don’t have anything built into Event Tickets Plus to limit access, that’s something that is a part of WordPress user roles. You would probably need to create a new user role for the Instructor and use a bit of custom code to limit access to just the areas that you want available.

Another possibility is a plugin called User Role Editor. I’ve used this with success on a couple of sites. You can find that plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

Does this help answer your question? Let me know how it goes!

Cheers,
Trisha

Thanks Trisha.
Okay, yes I know that plugin.
Is there a way to view the attendees list and check them off for each class, without having to go into an event to edit it? I don’t want the teacher to have to go into the edit view on each event, to access the attendees list and manage it there from. Or do I have to build a page that list all events and shows the attendees for each event?

Hi, Vayu!

To answer your question, yes there would need to be something custom done for the scenario you describe. Interestingly, I found something very similar that you may be able to modify for your needs. A customer shared a snippet to show attendees on the front end, you can find that here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/displaying-attendee-list-on-front-end-single-event/

Using this code in conjunction with the user role editor might work well.  It would probably work in the admin area as well as the front end, you could work out what UI works best for your case.

Note that there is an option to show attendees on the front-end as of v4.1 but I am not sure it has the functionality you need or if you want attendees visible to all. It sounds like the code above is a good fit but I wanted to present you with all the options 🙂

Good Luck! I’d love to hear how it works out!

Cheers,
Trisha

Thank you Trisha, that’s a really good start and will be a good piece of code to use for this use case.

Hi, Vayu!

So glad to hear it!

I’m going to close this conversation out, but as always, if you need anything else feel free to reach out! I’m happy to help 🙂

Cheers,
