User Roles and permissions

Make sure the Access settings are specific enough for Author Event and Author Location. If not yet done, create own capabilities via “User Role Editor”, assign those to the roles (e.g. to Subscriber), and use those capabilities in the Access settings.

Ok, got it working for places and events. It shows all but I can only edit my own as a member. Is it possible to only show my own places and events in list?
But to edit my member information (people page) I can not do these settings. I always ends up being able to edit all people.

Yes indeed, for members I started with the logic that people that become a member shouldn’t be able to edit that info. But I assume you’re not talking about EME memberships, just EME people here …
I’ll see what is possible concerning editing own info, but of course that’s only possible if the EME person is linked to a wordpress person.

Yes correct, a linked EME person (people) to a wordpress user. So the wordpress user only can edit his own EME person (people).

The next version will allow this. From the changelog:

* Added access controls for people and members (list/author/edit).
The list access control is new and for those already limiting access specifically for people or members, this value needs to be checked.

Thanks, but something happened with locations, because “Access denied” also as an admin.

Yes, small bug, see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/access-denied-for-locations/

Hi Franky!

I set the rules for user permissions the same for events and locations. The event list works perfectly, show only the user own events and the user can edit them. For locations it I have to set higher permission to show the list of locations and then it shows all and the user can edit all. Would be nice if the locations could work the same as events.

Did you already update to the latest version? It should be ok, but I’ll test again later on (my tests were ok on first sight).

Yes, using latest version

Franky! I think I found the problem. the location author was set to 0 instead of the authors ID. I don’t now how this happened. Is this a bug in your code? By changing the author ID in the database to correct number it works.

That might be a bug (or not ?? )
How was that location created? I’ll check that later on too (I’ll reopen this thread)

It would be great if the Author would show if you are an admin so the admin can set or change the author for events and location.

One more thing. Now when author is set correct, back-end is working correct, front-end #ESC_EDITEVENTURL is working fine but not #ESC_EDITLOCATIONURL

Indeed, for locations I need to clean up some redundant use of nonces. For a quick fix, remove in eme_locations.php line 48:
check_admin_referer('eme_admin','eme_admin_nonce');
