User Capabilities for Community Events

[Mad Dog]

To make sure I’m doing this right, I set up a User Role for people who can add events. I know users can only edit their own Events, but with that in mind, what capabilities do I need to give these users? I gave them a bunch of the “edit_private_tribe_event” type ones but wondered if that’s even necessary. And if so, just which I should give them. It feels like the plugin controls this so it’s not an issue. Is it? What are the proper capabilities for someone who ONLY is able to use the Community Events system?

Thanks

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the great question!

I do need to highlight first of all that custom development tasks are typically beyond the scope of support offered here in the forums so I’m afraid we may not be able to go into too much detail – but I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction if I can 🙂

What are the proper capabilities for someone who ONLY is able to use the Community Events system?

If this is the end goal, you need only set the user up as a subscriber and everything should “just work” (bearing in mind the options made available in the Events → Settings → Community screen) … do you actually need a custom implementation on top of this and may I ask why – it would be great to get a sense of what we might be missing?

Thanks!

Thanks, that’s what I needed to know. I do want a separate User Role for people who can post events but wasn’t sure whether I needed to give them any special capabilities other than the barest minimum — as in what a Subscriber has.

Thanks for getting back to me quickly.

I believe that should work here – give it a whirl and if you do hit problems you can always let us know (bearing in mind, custom dev tasks typically are not supported here but if we’re usually able to provide a nudge in the right direction) 🙂

As this has been marked resolved I will go ahead and close the topic: for anything else, please don’t hesitate to create new topics as needed.

Thanks again!
