Event Authors Can No Longer Edit their Own Events

[Anonymous]

In the last couple of weeks, our event contributors (those who put events onto the calendar), have noticed they can no longer edit their own events. When they go to edit the event, they get a message that says they do not have permission to edit the event.

We have not changed any of the access settings on our end, we were wondering if perhaps something changed with the last update that may have affected those permissions?

We have always had it set up where they could add events but only edit the events they add (events they are the author of).

In the settings/access, our permission settings look like this:
For “Add Events”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Author Events”, permission is set to “Publish events”
For “Publish Events”, permission is set to “Publish events”
For “List Events”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Edit Events”, permission is set to “Activate Plugins”
For “Add Location”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Author Location”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Edit Location”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Edit Categories”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Holidays”, permission is set to “Activate Plugins”
For “Edit Templates”, permission is set to “Activate Plugins”
For “View People”, permission is set to “Read”
For “Approve Registrations”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Edit Registrations”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Send Mails”, permission is set to “Edit events”
For “Send Other Mails”, permission is set to “Activate Plugins”

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

“Author events” is set to “Publish events”. Do the persons adding events have that capability?

Yes, all our event contributors have “Publish events” capability.

Ok, I’ll check later this evening myself with a test-user. This might be a permission-check problem (or not …)

Problem found (imho: in there for quite some versions …)

That appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks Franky!
