Setting Event Permissions

While sharing the event invitations, you can limit the attendee's event permission for viewing event and participant details, adding participants, and editing the event.

• View only event details: Attendees can only view the event details. They cannot view the participants.
• View participants: Attendees can view both the event details and the participants.
• Add participants: Attendees can view the event details and participants, and also add new participants.
• Edit event: Attendees can view event details and participants, add participants, and also edit the event. 

By default, attendees can view only the event details. To alter the permissions for one attendee:

2. In the pop-up that appears, choose the required permission level.

Notes:

• Changing the permission level for one attendee will not affect the other attendees' permission levels. 
• You can individually set different permission levels for multiple participants. For example: Attendee A can view participant and event details, attendee B can edit the event details, while the remaining attendees can only view the event details. 
  

To change the permission level for all the event attendees:

1. Select Permission under the list of invited attendees.
