Modules
Please keep the ones pre-selected on as these are core functionality modules, needed to make the portal operational. Then choose which modules are required based on the needs of your event.
Users
Please select users for the events. Ensure to always check Admin for Alex & Julie as well as yourself but then review the access for the others you may need on the event based on the access levels detailed for Admin, Approver or Staff.
It is not best practise to have more than 2 x admin on your event team. It should be limited to you as event manager & if necessary, your coordinator. All else should be on Staff level.
