Many event registrations situations call for oraganizers to have the capability of viewing registrations for the events they are organizing. This article shows you stp-by-step how to create a new user for the organizer, give that user the “Author” role, and assign the user as the author of a specific event. Alternatively you can create a custom user role with narrow permissions in order to allow the user just to view event registrations for his or her own events.
Create a New User
Log in as an admin level user to WordPress. From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Users” -> “Add New User” page.
Complete all of the required fields with information about your organizer
Assign the Author Role to the New User
At the bottom of the “Add New User” page, there is a dropdown allowing you to assign a role to the user.
Edit an Event Organized By Your New User
Find the event that your new user is organizing. Edit the event. Typically at the bottom of the page (though this can be moved) you’ll find a place to change the author of the the event. Use it to select the new user.
When your organizer logs in to the new user account, “Registrations” will appear as an item in the WordPress dashboard. Only events that the user is the author of will appear in the list. All aspects of registration can be managed by this new user.
