User Roles/Permissions to Edit Events on Multisite

[Ken Granger]

We’re using the events calendar on a wordpress multisite installation. Our site administrators are not seeing the events or add events option in their menu, only super admins can see this.

How can we modify the permissions to allow site admins to edit their own events?

Hi Ken,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

You can try integrating the third-party plugin, Members, in order to give you some more options on permissions for your users.

Thanks Jamie- unfortunately I do not think this is the solution. A site administrator has full permission over adding/editing/removing pages and posts, just not the events plugin. It seems maybe this is a multisite issue? Super admins can edit posts, but not site admins. I would rather not add yet another plugin to our multisite as I believe this should be a feature allowed by your plugin.

That’s really a crappy answer. Very disappointed

[Jaime Marchwinski]

Sorry to hear that.

The article that I previously linked to does provide some additional information on the permissions that can be added with the use of Members plugin:

We’d love to assist you further over on our WordPress.org forum for The Events Calendar.

Thanks for your understanding!

 

Thanks,

Ken,

I’m using TEC on multisite. TBH, I don’t recall if this was the specific reason I went this route or not but I’ve been happily using AAM (https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/) for all of my user role needs. It has come in handy a number of times for different scenarios.

Yes, it’s another plugin, but the granularity it offers (even down to per-user access) is worth it in my opinion. Obviously that opinion is shared given the 80,000+ installs – and it’s not even the most popular solution.

If you were adamant about not adding another plugin, I suppose you could edit roles manually but to what end?

That’s my $0.2 from someone who has the working setup you’re after.

Cheers.

Awesome, thanks for your feedback as well!

Ken, let us know if you have any other questions on this process!

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.
