which WordPress user role is recommended?

What WordPress user role do you recommend we use for Community Events members?

We just purchased Community Events for TEC Pro, and we are using it on our WordPress-powered website. Our plan is to create a membership that allows members to add moderated events. We want to make sure that these members only have access to the Community Events features (add a event, list your events, delete one of your own events), and that they have no access to any other part of our website.

Right now, I am planning that we will make our calendar members “contributors”. Then in the Community Events settings, we have checked “Block access to WordPress dashboard” for that role. Is this the best way to do what we want? Will this allow people to upload photos to their events?

Thanks!

Hello,

We do not have a recommended role to use, but I usually start with the subscriber role and see if I can get everything to work at the lowest role. The community events form gives them the permissions they need to access it so the they still have access to the feature image upload.

So I would start with subscriber and test a user with that role and I believe it should work exactly as you want it to.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
