# Event Permissions

As of **February 2026**, access to create events and manage registrations can be assigned to individual user accounts through the Manage Users administrative page. Organization Administrators or User Managers can update event permissions for any user in their organization.

## Permission Structure

Event permissions are organized into three sections on the user form:

### Use Events Module

A single **Use Events Module** toggle grants basic access to the Community Events module. When enabled, the user can:

* Create new community events
* Edit events they created or are added as a collaborator on
* View and manage registrations for their own events

Turning this toggle off removes all event permissions for the user.

### Additional Access

These permissions expand a user's visibility and editing capabilities beyond their own events:

* **View All Events** — Access to see all events in the organization and their registrations, not just the user's own events.
* **Edit All Events** — Ability to modify any event's details and manage registrations for any event. This also allows editing published events without requiring the Publish Events permission.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Event access permissions also grant the corresponding level of access to registrations. A user with **View All Events** can view registrations for all events. A user with **Edit All Events** can manage registrations for all events.
{% endhint %}

### Additional Features

These permissions control access to specific event management capabilities:

* **Publish Events** — Ability to make events publicly available to registrants.
* **Refund Registrations** — Authority to process registration refunds.
* **View Registration Demographics** — Access to view attendee demographic data. Users without this permission see demographic fields as hidden/blank.
* **Export Payment Details** — Ability to download payment information for event registrations.
