User roles for Shop Manager

[ddyer]

How to allow a shop manager to access the attendees to the event and also allowing the manager to update an event.
Thanks

Daryl,
Thanks for reaching out! In order to edit user roles, you’ll want to install a third party plugin for this. My favorite one is the Members plugin. Once you’ve installed and activated that plugin, you can go to ‘Users->Roles’ to edit the Shop manager role. In order to allow the Shop manager to edit Events, you should give them access to the ‘edit_others_tribe_events’ and ‘edit_tribe_events’ roles. This will allow them to edit any event, including events that they did not create.

Feel free to experiment with access to different roles, until you get the combination that you’re after. Just let me know if that gets you pointed in the right direction.

Thanks! 🙂

Hi Casey,
Do you know if you will be able to restrict them to editing their ‘own’ events? In other words – not allow them to mess about with other events?
I’d imagine you’d have to set them as the author of said event or something along those lines?

christopher,
You should be able to restrict them to only editing their own events by not giving them the ‘edit_others_tribe_events’ capability. Then they will only be able to Edit Events that they’re the author of. Hope that helps! 🙂
