Administrator Permission Levels

In the dynamic world of event management, access control and permission levels play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth execution and security of events. Event.Gives, a leading event management platform, offers a comprehensive set of permission levels to cater to the diverse needs of event organizers. In this article, we will explore the distinct permission levels – Director, Supervisor, Owner, and Viewer – and understand the particular privileges each level confers to users.

1. Director

The Director permission level stands at the top level of access within the Event.Gives platform. Individuals with Director permissions have the authority to grant Supervisor permissions, charge credit cards, and edit attendee profiles. However, obtaining Director status is an exclusive privilege that can only be achieved through making a purchase on the Manager Portal or directly from the Event.Gives team. This restriction ensures that individuals with Director permissions are real, invested stakeholders in the event.

The Director's role involves high-level decision-making and oversight. With the power to grant Supervisor permissions, Directors can delegate responsibilities and streamline the event management process. This level of access is ideal for individuals who are running the event in it's entirety. 

2. Supervisor

Supervisor permissions are one step below Director and are exclusively granted by Directors. Individuals with Supervisor permissions have the ability to edit Attendee profiles, a crucial aspect of ensuring accurate and up-to-date information for event participants. Additionally, Supervisors can charge credit cards on the Manager Portal, facilitating seamless financial transactions.

The Supervisor role is pivotal in executing the operational aspects of event management. By empowering individuals with the ability to edit Attendee profiles and handle financial transactions, Event.Gives ensures that the day-to-day responsibilities are efficiently managed. This permission level is suitable for those actively involved in the execution of the event and/or will be processing attendee checkout payments.

3. Owner

The Owner permission level is automatically designated to the event creator. Owners possess the unique ability to write data, contributing to the creation and maintenance of event information. However, Owners are restricted from editing Attendee profiles and charging credit cards on the Manager Portal.

Owners can shape the event by inputting and managing data, but certain sensitive actions are reserved for higher permission levels. The Owner role is perfect for those initiating the event who need control over the foundational aspects of event creation without delving into detailed attendee management or financial transactions.

4. Viewer

The Viewer permission level offers read-only access, allowing individuals to observe and gather information on the back end of the event site (manager portal) without the ability to make changes. Viewers can run reports, providing valuable insights into event data. This permission level is ideal for those who require access to information for analytical purposes but do not need to actively participate in event management.

Understanding permission levels is fundamental to optimizing the use of event management platforms like Event.Gives. Whether you're a Director making strategic decisions, a Supervisor handling operational aspects, an Owner shaping the event, or a Viewer gathering insights, each permission level serves a unique purpose in the collaborative landscape of event management. By tailoring access to specific roles, Event.Gives ensures a secure, efficient, and well-coordinated event management experience for all stakeholders.
