Filtering users who can schedule events in Groupjive

I can't see a global way of filtering which user level can create events. Can you tell me if this is possible? The way things are working on my test site at the moment, all group members can schedule events. It seems to be possible to restrict this at a group level, by disabling events under the Integrations/events tab, but this also makes the tab on the group page invisible?

If they're in the group and active they can schedule events. If you disable events then only the group owner and group administrators can schedule events. If disabled and no events are scheduled and the viewing user has no access to create events it won't show the events tab at all. There is no and will be no ACL control for group scheduling as GJ has specifically been redesigned to be easier to use.

Okay, thank. Pretty much what I thought. I appreciate the work you have have done on GJ, and agree that its much easier to use, with a much better user interface, and much much less confusing.
Unfortunately, there is a (relatively small) cost in terms of power and flexibility. It would be great for me to be able to (a) control how many groups a user can create using ACL and (b) control who can schedule events using ACL, but there it is.
Just a thought; could I use Auto actions to automatically disable event scheduling (except for Owner/Admin) when a group is created?

(a) control how many groups a user can create using ACL

Not sure what you mean how many they can create using ACL, but within GJ > Configuration > Parameters > Groups you can adjust "Create Access" and "Create Limit". You can also override the create access on a category by category basis.

(b) control who can schedule events using ACL, but there it is.

Yeah, that's not available. It's designed to allow those with active join status in the group to use those groups features. Note there are parameters within each integration and you can find them within CB > Plugin Management > CB GroupJive Events > Parameters for example. So for example you can set a create limit on events, which functions per group.

Probably, but you'd have to use a Code action and code such a usage.

Okay, thanks for that.
By "how many groups a user can create using ACL" by the way, I meant that instead of the limit being a universal one,(except Admin) it would be possible to assign limits to different user levels, is Registered can create 1 group, Special 2 groups etc. I realise this isn't possible, just would have a been a good feature for me.
Writing code for a Code action is way outside my skill level. I don't suppose you could point me in the direction of some help?

I see, yes there are plans to extend the create limit like CB Activity has where it can be based off a field or a static value. Field based means you'd be able to adjust the limits on a per user basis.

Sorry, we do not provide custom coding here. You can find CB Auto Action tutorials below for a couple of usecases.

You would need to basically edit the group and change its parameter value.

With that said I've added a feature ticket to adjust the defaults for those parameters as that'd be a relatively simple addition for a later release.
