FAQs on event members in Zoho Backstage

Event members

Who are event members?

Event members are organizers, speakers, or staff.

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

An event member can be an organizer, speaker, or a staff. An attendee is someone who holds a ticket to your event.

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

You can set up profiles for speakers in the Members tab of the Microsite Builder, and for organizers and staff in the Team tab of the Event Console.
 

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

You do not need to duplicate speaker profiles for events in the same portal. Simply add the speaker's email address when creating your session and their profile will automatically be populated with previously set information.
 

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

No, speakers can't modify the event details you have set for the event. Speakers can only sign in through the event microsite to access their presentations and conduct sessions.

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

Your staff can consist of many different roles, such as volunteers or audio technicians. Staff can do the following:
  • Check in attendees and add new guests
  • Post and comment on announcements
  • Access attendee list and reassign tickets
  • Upload presentations into the Presentation Library
  • Associate presentations to sessions
  • Preview and present presentations for sessions

What is a custom role?

A custom role is a user role that you can create and provide permissions for in Zoho Backstage. Default roles on Backstage can be duplicated and modified to create new custom roles with a different set of permissions. These custom roles can be created in the portal and event levels.

Who can create a custom role?

Custom roles can be created by anyone in the portal or event. However, your ability to create custom roles is determined by the role that you hold and the permissions your role has. For example, by default, a portal member can view and create custom roles in the portal or event. However, by default, an event organizer can only view and create custom roles in the event level. Since default roles can also be customized, permissions granted for any user role may differ across events in a portal. Based on your permissions, you can always visit the User roles and privileges tab in your portal or event to see what permissions a particular role has.
