Released: June 1, 2026
📌 Note: This is one of several releases designed to enhance and refine our permission offerings. Review the prior releases and stay tuned for additional releases. This is the last release planned at this time, however we have other access and improvement enhancement in the pipeline for the second half of 2026 and beyond.
This release delivers an expansion of granular permissions across Events. The previous Events permission model relied on a small set of all-or-nothing access grants that forced admins to either over-permission staff or block them from Events entirely. These have been replaced with a flexible, role-appropriate permission structure covering event creation, editing, publishing, attendee management, and deletion — each with All / My / My Team scoping.
New Event Permission Structure
The previous Administer Events, Administer Event Attendees, and Access Events permissions have been restructured and expanded. The standalone Access Events permission has been removed; access is now implied by any of the permissions below. The standalone Create Event permission has also been consolidated — create access is now included within the Edit permissions.
Updated permissions:
Administer Events — Full administrative control over all events, event sites, and settings. Includes all underlying access previously granted by Access Events.
Administer Event Attendees — Renamed to Manage All Event Attendees. Create, edit, and delete event attendees across all events.
Access Events — Renamed to View Events Read-only access to the Events list and all event detail tabs (Overview, Attendees, Signup).
New granular permissions:
View Events — Read-only access to the Events list and all event detail tabs (Overview, Attendees, Signup).
Edit Own Events — Create new events and edit events created by the current user (cannot publish).
Edit Team Events — Create new events and edit events created by members of the current user's team (cannot publish).
Edit All Events — Create new events and edit all events.
Delete Own Events — Delete events created by the current user.
Delete Team Events — Delete events created by members of the current user's team.
Delete All Events — Delete all events.
Publish Own Events — Publish or unpublish events created by the current user to event sites.
Publish Team Events — Publish or unpublish events created by members of the current user's team.
Publish Events — Publish or unpublish any event to event sites.
Manage Own Event Attendees — Create, edit, and delete attendees for events created by the current user.
Manage Team Event Attendees — Create, edit, and delete attendees for events created by members of the current user's team.
These updates give admins additional control over what each team member can do with Events — without resorting to broad, all-access grants. Student workers supporting event check-in can be given attendee management access without the ability to edit or delete events. Staff who draft events can be granted edit rights without publish access, supporting a structured review workflow before events go live. And view-only access gives staff visibility into event details without any risk of unintended changes.
Combined with the earlier releases for Tasks, Documents, Contacts, Segments, Notes, Labels, and ID Verification, the full Permissions Upgrades project now delivers a comprehensive, granular permissions framework across Element451.
