Purpose of Event Admin Role and How to Request it
Event administration roles are occasionally provided to people for the following reasons:
- A job responsibility to edit, review or delete events created by other people or to assist others with their events.
- An articulated business need to routinely apply features not available on the public event submission page, such as visibility restrictions, tags or keywords.
The role is not intended for:
- Bypassing event review. Please contact the Service Desk if you have questions or concerns about event moderation.
- Entering events for others who wish to bypass event review
- Adding curation for an organization.Users may freely choose to add filters and organizations to their events.Moderators check to see if their selections seem appropriate; however, the calendar does not support requiring separate approval for each filter or organization associated with an event.
- Removing events created by people outside your organization.If an event unexpectedly uses your organization, you may contact the owner to determine if it was selected by mistake, and offer to correct it for them.
How to obtain the role:
- Submit a request by contacting the Service Desk describing the business need for the role to be granted and the name of the organization(s) this role will be used for.
- You must log on to the event calendar at least once to create an account.
- Once granted, we will associate the role with your account.You will be able to create, edit or delete events associated with those organizations.
