Venues & Organizers (assigning ownership to a user)

[gurban308]

I am setting up the events calendar and wanted to see if it is possible to assign a specific user to be an admin for a Venue or Organization. I have setup many groups and venues to populate my calendar, now I would like to use Community to turn over control of those Venues and Organizations to an authorized representative of that group. i.e. giving the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce full control over all events attributed to their Organization and the ability to add new events and edit themselves.

Is this currently a feature?
The benefit is that I would not have to review and approve postings by these Organizations (if they have an approved user) and it would prevent other people from posting events and attributing them to an Organization that they are not really associated with.
If this isn’t a current feature I would throw a Vote for it being added.

Thanks

Hello gurban308,

Hmmm… I don’t the the Community Events plugin is going to do what you’d like. You’re looking to have venue coordinators post and manage events, whereas the Community Events plugin allows visitors to post events on the calendar.

Unless you were willing to give all your venue coordinators admin access where they would have control of all the events on the calendar (and more), you might want to look at a role manager plugin that would allow you to create a custom role and then give it access to custom post types (like events). You’ll have to look elsewhere to find that.

Also, we do have plans to finish working on a Conference Manager add-on that we started at one point. It might better help you accomplish your end goals here. There is no scheduled release date for it, but if you keep an eye on our social media sites we’ll certainly be announcing a beta whenever we pick up development there again.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

— Julie
