Managing Users & Roles

Learn how to add, manage & remove Users

Updated over a week ago

User Roles

Event Temple offers four system user roles that offer varying levels of access.

Read Only

This role is great for team members who may need to see space availability, BEO's or financial reports, but don't require day-to-day access to manage Bookings.

Read Only users can see all Bookings & their components but cannot edit any of them. They can use filters while viewing lists, but cannot save any Custom Views.

They will be able to view an email conversation thread on a Booking, but will not have access to the 'Mail' page (usually accessed from the sidebar).

Regular

Can see and manage all the Bookings in the system but can't manage account-wide settings in the Settings area.

Admins

Can see all the Bookings in the system and can manage everything in the Settings area.

In the old Sales and Catering systems of the past 20 years, if you wanted to add or remove a user, you’d have to contact their customer support team. With Event Temple, Admin users can add and remove Users, as well as change their permissions down to the property level.

Chain Admin

If a user has Chain Admin selected, they will have full access to the Chain Dashboard, including the ability to add users, customize fields and more.

How to Add a User

The new user will receive credentials in an email to the address you enter, which will include a randomly generated password.

Email providers can occasionally block these emails as spam, since they are automated. Sometimes it goes directly into your spam/junk folder, however other times it's blocked altogether.

If the new user is having trouble receiving the email, add notifications@eventtemplemail.com to the safe sender list (white list) in your email settings. This is a list of all email addresses you would like to receive email from. Once you've done this, have them perform a password reset.

If they still aren't receiving emails, please contact our friendly support team who will be happy to assist.

The information entered for the user can be used within Event Temple in Email & Document Templates, using merge fields.
