    I have set anonymous event submission, but the only way I can get access to the form is by logging in. What am I missing?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    In addition to allowing anonymous event submission, you also need to set the default user for anonymous event submission and that user must have a role with permission to submit events.

    You can set the user role capabilities by going to Event > Settings and then select User Capabilities in the General tab.

    Thanks for the prompt response. It’s much appreciated.

    However, there is no ‘submit events’ option in the user roles. If I use the ‘publish events’ option the event is published without being held for approval.

    I must be missing something else?

    Give them permission to “Edit Events” this will give them permission to submit events.

    Tried that, but the event is published without being held for approval.

    Just give permission to Edit Events but don’t give permission to Publish Events.

    That’s what I did.

    I’ve just noticed a role called ‘pending’ ,so I have changed the user’s role to that with ‘edit_events’ permitted. I shall try that.

    The result is the same, I’m afraid.

    And Test 7, without permissions! I keep clearing LS cache with ‘purge all’.

    My apologies. I have remained logged in for most of these tests.

    Having logged out, I am now at the beginning of this thread again, with ‘Access unauthorized’.

    I’ll get my coat.

    I created a new user called Anonymous and gave them the Contributor role. When I created an event in an Incognito window it was not published but remained in the Pending state:

    Here are the permissions for contributor:

    Finally, a result!

    No permissions given. And for the first time, I was asked for my name and email address. I had thought about that, all along.

    Thanks for your company Jon.

    Just to be clear, I gave my anonymous user the subscriber role and didn’t grant any permissions.

    It just worked. Let’s hope it continues to do so.
