Do not think that the front-end submissions is included in the core plugin, but there is an add-on for it.

Oh, sorry, forgot to mention and purchased this add-on. I can post automatically as admin, but can’t seem to allow any other users. The doc you referenced says “Remember, If you are logged into an account that has permission to post an event on the calendar, your event will be posted automatically.”, but I don’t see any instruction on how to give those permissions.
Hi,
Please try to add Author or Editor role to your users.
Editor:
An Editor can create, edit, publish, and delete any event (not just their own), as well as manage categories, tags, and links.
Author:
An Author can create, edit, publish, and delete only their own events, as well as upload files and images. Authors do not have access to modify events by other users.
Event Contributor:
A Contributor can create and edit only their own events, but cannot publish them. When one of their events is ready to be published or has been revised, the Administrator needs to be notified personally by the Contributor to review it. Furthermore, once a Contributor’s event is approved and published by an Administrator, it can no longer be edited by the Contributor.
Thanks for the clarification. While I am the developer, I don’t manage permissions, so I’ll need to get with those involved to hammer out how to make it work. They use the Adminimize plugin to hide things from users by role and the User Role Editor plugin to assign capabilities. Making the user an Author works for this purpose, but not sure if that will show things in the admin section they don’t want to show, will clarify later today.
I tried to add the ‘publish_ai1ec_events’ capability to the Event Contributor role using the User Role Editor plugin, but it won’t save. Is it not possible to alter the role capabilities? It would be ideal for use to just give the Event Contributor the capability to publish events. Or have an “Event Manager” that has the added capability.
Our plugin uses default WordPress roles, so it would be best to contact the “User Role Editor” plugin support on how to change things with their plugin.
Thanks,
Ben
We got it working by adding the ‘publish_ai1ec_events’ capability to another role and giving the user that role.
I am glad things are all set for you now.
Take care,
Ben
