Event Administration Overview
- Roger Jamieson
Access to the various event functions is limited by each user's 'user role'. For example, and event administrator has access to all functionality, while a Judge can only access the Judge Autos, People's Choice and Assign Awards sections (if enabled by the Event Administrator). Additionally, Judges and Staff have limited access to their respective event functionality. For more information on the various types of users for an event, see our User Roles page.
Access Restrictions to Event Functionality
Some or all access to event functionality may be limited, depending on a number of factors:
The event status (i.e. if an event is 'Active' or 'Inactive). Inactive events will limit access to certain functionality.
The event dates (i.e. if an event is 'current' or a 'past' event). Past events cannot be edited, participants cannot be added or edited and autos cannot be judged.
The user role that the current user is logged in as for this event. Certain user roles have restricted access to some event functionality (i.e. Judges and Staff).
The event administrator has disabled certain functionality for the event (i.e. Judge Autos or People's Choice).
If a button is disabled...
 | If an event is 'Inactive' or a button has been disabled, more information can be obtained as to why that button is not enabled (or why the event is Inactive). Hover your mouse over the button (or for mobile users, click the disabled button) and a message will provide further information. |
