Why is it useful?

Throughout your event, you might want to temporarily show or hide certain features to your participants.

Some common examples:

• You might set a deadline for participants to enter their availability for meetings. After that deadline, you want to prevent anyone from changing their availability.
• When you’re ready to start scheduling meetings, you might want to close or lock further meeting requests.
• You might want to hide everyone’s event schedules until you’ve finished scheduling meetings.

The Permission Overrides feature is useful when you want to make a global change. You can add or remove access to a feature for everyone at your event, all at once.

The Menu Editor: a more customizable option

You can also add and remove access to features using the Menu Editor.

With the Menu Editor, you have much more flexibility:

• You can handle Company, Attendee, and Company Rep permissions separately.
• You can hide any feature for as long as you need, and make it visible again any time.
• You can show any feature to some user roles or groups, and hide it from others.

Updating specific permissions

Keep in mind that when you take the steps below, you are changing access for every user at your event, regardless of their role.

Step 1. Head to the Configure tab. Choose Event Settings, then Permissions:

Step 2. Click the checkboxes for any features you want to disable for everyone.

You’ll see a red X, indicating that the permission is globally disabled. The change saves automatically:

If you’ve set restrictions for any individual Attendee, or our Support team has helped you customize permissions for user roles, that will override any change you make here on the Permissions page.

Step 3. If you want to restore a permission for everyone later, return to this page and check the box again. A green checkmark means it’s enabled.
