  4. Once you’ve made changes, click Save Changes. This updates the permissions for a particular group.

Note: If a feature for example “Private Meetings” is disabled for an event, that setting is also disabled in access groups.

Day Access

For a multi-day event, you can select/clear day-wise accessibility checkbox for a particular group.

Note: If event dates have changed, this would reflect in the Day Access option.

Event Zones

Toggle on/off the different event venues for a group.

Note: If a venue is toggled off from the Venue Setup, that venue does not appear on the venue navigation bar in an event. The access group settings would show the option as disabled.

Perform system checks before joining event

System checks refer to the welcome screen that guides you through the series of compatibility checks such as browser or internet speed required for a seamless event experience. This permission is not required for organizers.

Every group has a Group Name and Group ID. You can only edit a Group Name for a custom group.

Duplicate Group

A duplicate group option lets you create a new group with similar access permissions.

This is especially useful in cases where you have to create a custom group with permissions only slightly different from an existing group. You can create a duplicate, quickly make few changes, and save it.

To duplicate a group:

  1. Go to the existing group you wish to duplicate.

  2. Click the duplicate group icon.

  4. Click +Create.

This creates a new group with the same settings.

Delete Group

You can click Delete Group button in Access Groups to permanently delete a group.

Note that:

  • You can only delete custom groups and not default groups.

  • You can delete a derived ticket group by deleting it from ticket tier and not from access groups.

  • Role-based groups cannot be edited manually. An attendee can’t be added to organizer group.
