How to Manage Access Controls for a Hybrid Event
Create Access controls for your event participants to provide customized access to the Zuddl events. Using access control, you can configure a set of rules for an audience group instead of having to provide access to users individually. In other words, access control helps you assign & manage roles by user actions in a Zuddl event.
Access controls are event-specific and need to be configured separately for each event.
Before we move into understanding the types of accesses, lets understand what are the different audience groups:
Standard group: the audience group with base access. Standard groups are like roles in the event: Audience, Speakers, and Sponsors.
Custom group: the audience group with group access. Custom groups are segmented into 3 types:
- Flow-based groups (created automatically by the system based on the flows that are created in the event).
- Ticket-based groups (created automatically by the system based on the tickets that are created in the event).
- Any other custom groups (created by organizers for better event management).
There are two types of access that you need to manage :
- Base access: The pre-configured access settings for standard groups (i.e. Attendees, Speakers, and Sponsors) based on which access can be configured for the custom groups groups.
- Group access: The access settings for custom groups that are derived from the base access.
Modifying base access
Before you derive group access out of base access, you must first modify the base access settings to easily derive custom group access. The base access settings are available for three primary audiences: Attendees, Speakers, and Sponsors.
The default settings for an audience are shown on the right. To modify or edit the default access settings:
- Go to People > Audiences > Access control.
- Click on an audience under the Base access section on the left, let's say Attendees.
On the right there, you can view/modify the preset access settings for Attendees. - Search for the setting you need to modify or scroll to it.
Every group will have an alphanumeric identifier If a feature, for instance, “Private Meetings,” is disabled for an event, that setting is also disabled in access control.
