We have Event Calendar Pro running on an intranet. The company is divided into various office locations. We are wanting to allow each office to post their own events to their “office category”, but restrict them to just that category.<\/p>\n

For instance: Downtown Office user logs in, goes to add an event, and the Downtown Office category is already selected and they cannot change that selection.<\/p>\n

Would the Community Events add-on possibly help here? Is it possible to define the category for a front-end submission form? We could then just create a separate form for each office location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1278029","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLimit Category Selection By User\/User Role -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/limit-category-selection-by-useruser-role\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Limit Category Selection By User\/User Role -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We have Event Calendar Pro running on an intranet.
