    Hi- I’m using events manager with BuddyPress. I have the settings so that only users with the Admin role can create or edit events. I would however also like BuddyPress group admins to be able to create/edit events for their group. It sounded like this was possible based on the documentation, but if I take a user who is a WP subscriber role, and make them an admin of a BuddyPress group, they still do not have the option to add an event anywhere in the front end that I can see. I tried in the Events tab in their group, and in the Events tab in their profile- no option to add events, only WP admins have that. Am I missing something?

    @damiendamz That screen seems to only be wordpress roles though.

    The situation I have is that BuddyPress group admins all have the default WordPress role of Subscriber. I do NOT want every subscriber to be able to create/edit events, so I cannot add that under User Capabilities. I thought buddypress group admins had access to create/edit events in their group, even if they didn’t have access via their wordpress role. Otherwise I have to do something like create a custom wordpress role and add all the group admins to it? That seems unnecessary.

    what you will need to do is create a user group using a plugin called
    “User Role Editor” assign all your admins to that user group and give that group privileges to be able to create/edit events

    Thanks @damiendamz. That’s certainly doable, I was just hoping to avoid the extra admin work that’ll take. It would be nice to have the option to give groups admins that privilege without a wordpress role for them.
