QR code checkin permissions

[liblogger]

Can I check what roles are able to check people in using the QR code? Is it only administrators? We very often have volunteers involved in running events, and I don’t want to give them admin access, but I don’t want us to suddenly tell them they can’t help with signing people in…

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

This is a little guide I have for the QR Codes that explains the capabilities needed to checkin: (it does not have to be an admin account)

How to check in using Ticket Plus’s QR Codes:

1. Get an App for your phone or tablet that can read QR codes (Scan for IOS is what I use)
2. Setup the Scanner App to open in a browser or in the app itself (I used Chrome as my browser with the app and signed in there)
3. In either sign into your site with at least a author level account or create a special account with edit_posts and read capabilities (User Role Editor is an easy plugin to do this with)
4. Scan the QR Code and you will get a success message such as “This Ticket with ID xxxx was checked in.”

If you are just seeing the event page with no success message it does not recognize you as logged in.

Also, please make sure to have cookies turned on so your login will work.

Does this help clear it up?

Hi Brian – thanks for the quick response. I’ve just tested it with an author, and that worked fine – thanks for the clarification. (The notes on the new ticket plugin seemed to imply that it had to be an administrator, so that might need some updating).

Sounds good.

Thanks for the Feedback.

I have made the change.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
