The primary change in this release is the ability to set customized permissions for your users. There are now only two user roles: Standard and Administrator. The previous role of Event Scanner has been removed. Any users you had given Event Scanner level access to in the past will now default to Standard users without any additional permissions. They will only have access to sell tickets and scan/check in tickets. You should not see any changes in their functionality, and no effort is required unless you choose to give them additional access.
You will find these settings by clicking on the Manage Users icon on your event dashboard. The options only apply to Standard users, and you will see the list of choices when you add a new Standard user or edit an existing Standard user.
Standard Users are now very versatile. Depending on the use case, you can highly limit a user’s access to features within the platform or you can grant permission to certain features as you see fit. Simply toggle features On/Off and save your changes. The updates are effective immediately.
For any users that you had previously granted Standard level access to, they will be granted the following permissions by default:
Administrators will continue to have full access to add, update, delete, etc. as before. There are a few features that only Administrators can access:
1. Only Administrators can create additional Administrative users.
2. Only Administrators can access the Manage Account icon, which is a Donor Management feature.
3. Only Administrators can access the Organizer Settings icon. This contains information regarding your organization’s contact information, donation preferences, and default event settings.
