User Capabilities Issues
-
Hello,
I’ve been trying to set up the manager for events, but I’m running into an issue with the user capabilities.
Right now we have a couple of different membership levels and I want the highest two levels to be able to create and modify their own events. I am using buddypress and pro membership pro. I am unable to give these levels the correct capabilities as whenever I go to the add event page using accounts with those levels, it says “you must log in to view and manage your events”
I tried on my administrator and I was able to get in just fine.
The roles for the two levels of members are currently – Subscriber and Participant (according to the users tab on wp). This is fine for me as I can just restrict the add events pages to the membership level elsewhere.
The problem I’m having is that on the Users Capabilities page of event manager, the roles don’t have the same wording. Ex. participant shows up as bbp_participant. keymaster shows up as bbp_keymaster.
I thought this wouldn’t effect anything at first, but I tested it by first removing all the administrator user capabilities and then giving bbp_keymaster all the capabilities that the admin I had before. On my list of roles, it does include keymaster. With this change, I became am unable to get to the events page, even though I was able to before.
So I have 2 questions.
1. Is there a way to fix this so that user capabilities has the same wording, and would that even fix the issue?
2. Surprisingly the role subscriber is worded the same and giving permissions to subscribers does allow subscribers to create and edit events. This may be an ok work around for me, but this leads to the questions of can someone add/modify any of the events without accessing the add events page? I can restrict that page, but if they don’t need to use that page to add/change events it may be an issue.
Thanks for all the help!
Andy
