User Types

[Sam Smith]

I have a non-profit client that needs to manage volunteer events. They want to set up different roles for login users: Admins (can submit + Register), Leaders (who can post events from front-end submission + register), members (who just register). Is there a way to manage roles within the plugin?

Is there an RSVP options as well? Which add ones would I need for these capabilities?

Hi Sam!

Thanks for reaching out. I’d be happy to help with your questions.

You may need to look at several of our plugins to get the functionality that you are describing.

To be able to allow people to submit events from the front end, you would need the Community Events plugin. This plugin has the option of letting people submit events only if they are logged in. There is also an “Access Settings” section that lets you control which user roles have access to the WordPress backend.

So, from your description, you may be able to set it up like so:

1) Admins by default, can edit anything on your site.
2) Require being logged in to register an event. “Leaders” can have a login, but be blocked from the admin area. They would be able to login and submit events from the front-end.
3) Members – do not have a login, but can register for events

The problem I see with the above, is that you may want members to have a login. With this setup, they would then be able to submit events as well.

To be able to have more control over what your logged in users can access than what our plugin provides for, you may need to use a third party plugin for this. Here is a list of the permissions and user levels in our plugins: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/admin-roles-and-permissions/

For RSVPs, you would need our free Event Tickets plugin.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have additional questions about any of the plugins.

Thanks,
Sky
