    I’m creating a custom role using User Role Editor. I want users with this role to be able to add and edit their own events. Got it more or less working thanks to a previous forum post. But my user unexpectedly has the ability to access and change Event Categories and Import. How can I disable user from change Event Categories?

    Attached are the capabilities I assigned this new role.

    Good evening David and welcome back!

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

    The simplest solution, by far, would be to use our Community Events plugin, which is geared precisely towards the level of control you are looking for: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/

    I do not believe there are specific capabilities that address these 2 options, unfortunately.

    With that in mind, if you want to pursue with your present solution, you might want to read this: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/disable-editing-of-event-categories-for-editor-user-role-in-2016/

    As for the import option, you could at least remove it for certain roles by adapting the following snippet: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/disable-the-events-menu-on-the-dashboard/

    Let me know if that helps.

    Have a great day!

    Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

    Thanks so much!
