Set event permissions

Note: To manage event permissions, you need Admin permission on the event. Learn more about Permissions.

To collaborate on an event, users need permission to access it. The master user (the first user created when setting up an account) automatically has permission to everything in the account. Other users require explicit permissions to access events.

Steps to set event permissions

  1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Settings > Permissions
  2. View the list of users with access
  3. Select a user to view and edit their permissions in the panel on the right
  4. Configure the desired permissions
  5. Select Save

Add additional users

If you need to create new user accounts, account admins can add more users under Settings (main menu) > Users.

Link additional users

To grant permissions to users not in the list:

  1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Settings > Permissions
  2. Select Link user (below the user list)
  3. Enter the username
  4. Select the matching username from the list that appears
  5. Select the newly added user to set their permissions
  6. Configure the desired permissions
  7. Select Save

Available permissions

When you select a user, you can grant these permissions:

Admin — Full control over the event, including managing other users' permissions

View guests — See guest information across all guest lists

Add guests — Add new guests to the event

Check in guests — Check guests in at the event

Set limits for adding guests

When a user has the Add guests permission, you can set additional limits:

  • Max total tickets — Maximum number of tickets the user can add
  • Max free tickets — Maximum number of free tickets within their total
  • Earliest date/time to add guests
  • Latest date/time to add guests

These limits can be set per guest list or for the entire event (which includes all guest lists). Permissions for pass types linked to the event must be configured separately in the pass type permissions section.

Permission inheritance

The permission system offers flexible management through inheritance:

  • Event templates — Set permissions once on a template to manage multiple events simultaneously. See Event templates
  • Venues — Set permissions at the venue level to automatically apply to all events at that venue
  • Events — Set permissions directly on individual events for one-off access needs

Best practices

Individual user accounts — Give colleagues, partners, and promoters their own accounts to track activity and maintain accountability

Shared check-in devices — Use a single user account for all check-in devices at the door

Limit access appropriately — Grant only necessary permissions, especially for check-in accounts. Give door staff only "Check in guests" permission to prevent adding or modifying guest data. If a device is lost, limited permissions prevent unauthorized access
