Set Category Permissions in Agenda Center

Prev Next

Depending on the state in which you live only certain staff positions can publish an agenda. Due to this, the Agenda Center Module requires a user to have Owner rights to be able to publish an agenda that is visible to the public.

Important Note:

We recommend that you assign permissions at the category level. This way, you only give the permissions to that category and not the whole module.

Who can use this feature?

System Administrator | Owner
