Roles & permissions

[Luuk]

Hi,

I’m testing the capabilities of Event Tickets Plus regarding QR checkin. When I access the QR-generated URL, I have to login in WordPress. With my admin account everything is OK, but I was wondering whether it is possible to create a user role that only allows to checkin tickets.
From testing and reading the code, it looks like at least the permissions ‘edit_posts’ and ‘edit_pages’ are required, but these permissions also enable changes at other pages. Besides, it would be nice to have the undo checkin action behind a separate permission.
Is this possible and so, how can I achieve this?

Thanks,
Luuk

Good afternoon Luuk and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

That is a great point. I have reached out to Dev about this.
For now, aside from hacking the code to change its logic, you are 100% correct about the required permissions.

As such, I have opened a ticket to create additional capabilities which in turn would allow for better user role creation.

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Also, in case you have not already read it, you might also be interested in the following post: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/admin-roles-and-permissions/

Hello again,

As a side note, apparently the contributor role does work for the purpose of check-in.
I realize this is not perfect, but it’s a starting point 🙂

Have a great day!
