[Plugin: Events Manager] Unauthorized Access – when submitting event via anon

@madmirth

You have to atleast give them user capabilities e.g. edit_events, edit_recurring_events, edit_locations, edit_event_categories this capabilities will just allow them to create events and will not be publish without an approval (just a Pending status)

Hi everybody,

I get exactly the same error message, but only when I add a picture.

Already checked ftp-permissions twice and even migrated the whole site to another server, but nothing changed.

Any ideas what I could try next?

Excellent! It works now, can’t believe I missed that! This is an excellent plugin, does exactly what I need

Thank you Marcus

@madmirth

that’s great.

I got it working, too. Turned out that the error message (“Unauthorized Access
You do not have the rights to manage this Event.”) showed when actually the picture’s file size was too big.

Don’t know if this is this is true for anybody else, as I use the template tag and not the shortcode, but it could lead to unnecessary customer confusion.

I still got another problem but I’ll open new topic for that.

I’m running Multisite 3.1.3 on a sub-domain setup and cannot figure out whats going wrong. It works perfectly for my main site but on the sub domain level it gives me the error “Unauthorized Access. You do not have the rights to manage this Event.”

I have Version 5.0.42 installed and have user capabilities set for my subscriber to edit_events, edit_recurring_events, edit_locations, edit_event_categories. I made sure the settings were identical to my main site and still no luck. I also made sure the Anonymous user was created and all new events are attributed to that user.

Please if anyone can shed some light on this it would be huge.

rockymountainhigh1943 – Please don’t bump, it’s not permitted.

Also I suggest you make your own tpic for support, as you’re using Multisite and that’s different. It’ll be easier for anyone to help you in your own topic.

Ipstenu – Thanks for the tip.

as Ipstenu said, but maybe this helps – make sure your user is regsitered on the actual blog you are setting up submissions on.

I have EM 5.1.6 and I’m still having this issue:

Unauthorized Access

You do not have the rights to manage this Event.

If I set the

Sorry submitted early. If I set the anon submitter to be the admin the event gets published and the form reloads… Is there a way to just change the language on that page? Everything else is good.

Actually the email notifications aren’t being sent either…

1.
have you tried checking the em user capabilities? also, what do you mean by changing the language? Em follows your WP localization.

2.
try changing to php mail or WP mail

Still having this issue with WP 3.4.1 MS, BP 1.5.6, and EM 5.2.2.

Followed all instructions above. A contributor who is a member of a group (with correct permissions set) still sees no event submission option in My Accounts > Events > My Profile.

In addition, he sees “You do not have the rights to manage this Event.” on the anon guest submission page:

Jay, Might be two seperate issues, but still capability releated. You need to assign a user for anon events, and make sure they have the capabilities to edit_events at minimum.

Your other issue r.e. a contributor/member is probably the same issue. If you’re using other plugin that mess with capabilities e.g. role scoper, capability manager, check that you haven’t done something there to make this stop working.

that said, I correctly submitted an event to your site.

Thanks for the tips, Marcus.

I assigned the anon submissions to a new user named “Guest” and that’s working fine.

The issue I described is for logged-in users only. I’m not using any capabilities plugins.

However, I may have found the issue. It turns out that BuddyPress adds its own roles (moderator and member) and those may override the default WordPress roles (editor, author, subscriber). I had assigned the WP roles because I thought they were primary, but I’ve just changed BP role capabilities and am testing now.
