Zoho Backstage Event Members FAQs | Roles, Permissions, Speakers, Staff, and Custom Roles

Event members

1. Who are event members?

Event members are the people who help plan, manage, and run an event. They can include organizers, staff members, hosts, co-hosts, volunteers, moderators, and other users who have been assigned a role in the event.

2. What is the difference between an event member and an attendee?

Event members help manage or contribute to the event and are assigned specific roles and permissions. Attendees are participants who register for or are invited to attend the event.

3. Where can I invite and set up profiles for event members in my event?

You can add and manage event members from Manage > Team. Event members include organizers, staff, volunteers, moderators, and other users who help manage the event. You can invite members, assign roles, and configure permissions based on their responsibilities.

4. Can I duplicate a speaker profile to use for another Backstage event in the same portal?

No. Speaker profiles can be reused across events within the same portal. When you add a speaker using an email address that already exists in the portal, Zoho Backstage automatically uses the existing speaker profile information.

5. Do speakers have access to modify event details that I've set when I add them to my event member team?

No. Speakers do not have permission to modify event details by default. They can sign in to the event website to manage their speaker profile, access assigned sessions, and participate in event activities.

However, if a speaker is also assigned an organizer or staff role with the necessary permissions, they may be able to view or modify event settings based on the access granted to them.

6. Who can I add as staff and what permissions do they have?

Event members can include volunteers, moderators, registration desk personnel, technical support teams, coordinators, and other event personnel. The actions they can perform depend on the role and permissions assigned to them.

Depending on their access level, event members can help manage registrations, attendee check-ins, announcements, presentations, sessions, attendee information, and other event-day operations.

7. What is a custom role?

A custom role is a role that you create with a specific set of permissions. Custom roles allow you to control what users can view, manage, or modify within a portal or event. You can create custom roles by modifying existing roles or configuring a new set of permissions to match your organization’s requirements.

8. Who can create a custom role?

Users with the required permissions can create and manage custom roles. Custom roles can be created at both the portal and event levels, depending on the access granted to your role. If you have permission to manage roles, you can create, edit, and assign custom roles to other users.
