Admin

Admin guide

Use this path to prepare a section, manage access, and review events before participants see them.

Admin access affects the whole section

Admins can view and change section-wide data. Grant the role only to people who need it, review it regularly, and remove it when their responsibility ends.

Prepare a new section

  1. Set up your section by creating an event organizer and a template category.
  2. Configure section settings, including contact and website details.
  3. Create an event template.
  4. Manage section users and confirm their roles and statuses.
  5. Configure user data required during onboarding.
  6. Review and publish an event.

Your minimum setup is ready when organizers can create from a template, participants can complete the required profile data, and an approved event is publicly visible to its intended audience.

Set up your section

Create the records that event templates and events depend on.

Manage access

Understand roles, membership statuses, and their practical effect.

If you cannot continue

  • Admin Tools is missing: confirm that your section role is Admin, not only that you have a member status.
  • An organizer cannot create events: check both their membership status and whether an appropriate template exists.
  • A participant cannot see an event: check its publication state and participant eligibility settings.
  • You are unsure what access to grant: read Permissions and use the least-privileged option that supports the person's work.
