Has the same rights as an Event Manager. Exception: A Supporter can view all events in the Event Dashboard. - **Event Manager:** Have all necessary rights for managing events. Content within the Space settings can only be viewed, but not adjusted. - **Event Creator**: Have all necessary rights for managing events. Certain design elements can be locked for editing by these users for each event. - **Host:** This role is used as part of the ‘Hospitality’ feature. Users with this role can book and manage ticket contingents, as well as add and manage participants in their assigned events. However, this role cannot see the individual tabs in the space settings or the navigation points within the individual events. - **Subhost:** This role is used in the course of the "Hospitality" feature. Users with this role can book and manage ticket contingents, as well as add and manage participants in their assigned events. Similar to the Host role, the Subhost cannot access individual tabs in the Space settings or view navigation points within individual events. - **Check-In App**: Users with this role enable efficient guest check-in both on mobile via the [check-in app](https://help.evenito.com/the-check-in-app?hsLang=en) and stationary through a specialized view in the **evenito back office**. To ensure maximum data security, these users do not have administrative rights and cannot view the entire guest list at a glance. This role is ideal for external staff, as it focuses purely on check-in and badge printing without granting access to sensitive event settings or email functions. You can find an overview of the roles in evenito in the "**Users, Teams & Roles**" section within "**Space settings**". You can access this by clicking the arrow ![Bildschirmfoto 2025-05-13 um 15.49.05](https://help.evenito.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Icons%20Tool/Bildschirmfoto%202025-05-13%20um%2015.49.05.png?width=15&height=17&name=Bildschirmfoto%202025-05-13%20um%2015.49.05.png) next to the Space name in the top navigation. ### Differences between roles The following overview shows how the individual roles of "**Administrator**", "**Supporter**", "**Event Manager**", "**Event Creator**" and "**Check-in**" differ from one another.  | | Space Admin | Supporter | Event Manager | Event Creator | Check-in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Space Settings | | | | | | | File Manager | | | Team | Team | | | Manage General Information | | | | | | | Domain Management / Resources | | | | | | | Manage Blocklist | | | | | | | User Management | | | | | | | Create & Manage Templates | | | | | | | Event Dashboard | | | | | | | Event Access | | | Team | Team | Team | | Create Event (Copy) | | | Team | Team | | | Create Event (Template) | | | Team | Team | | | Create Event (Blank) | | | | | | | Use Templates | | | Team | Team | | | In Event | | | | | | | Activate Modules | | | | | | | Lock & Overwrite CI/CD | | | | | | | Custom Content / Tracking | | | | | | | Check-In Guests | | | | | | **Please note:** In order for E**vent Managers**, E**vent Creators** or C**heck-in** users to see the events, they must be added to one (or more) teams. [This article](https://help.evenito.com/structuring-users-and-permissions-through-teams?hsLang=en) shows you how to create teams and add users. **Administrators** and **supporters** cannot be **added to a team**, as they can view all events anyway. Due to the different access permissions, the global role of **Administrator** can also view all events on the [dashboard](https://help.evenito.com/event-dashboard?hsLang=en), regardless of team membership. Meanwhile, **Event Managers**, **Event Creators** and **Check-in** users can only view the events of their teams. In addition, the right to create events from scratch is reserved for the **Administrators**. **Event Managers**, **Event Creators** and **Supporters** can only create events from templates or copy existing events. Furthermore, only **Administrators** can create templates.  ### Add a global role to your user To assign or edit a role for a new or existing user, please follow these steps: Follow the description in [this article](https://help.evenito.com/create-or-delete-users?hsLang=en) to add a **new user** to your space. Select one of the existing roles in the dropdown under "Role" in the mask: ![Bildschirmfoto 2025-06-11 um 16.14.11](https://help.evenito.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/4.0/User,%20Teams,%20Rollen/Bildschirmfoto%202025-06-11%20um%2016.14.11.png?width=322&height=298&name=Bildschirmfoto%202025-06-11%20um%2016.14.11.png) For an **existing user**, select the desired user in the "User" tab under "Users, Teams & Roles" by hovering over it. Then click on the editing pencil on the right-hand side so that the user profile opens. Now you can select the desired role in the dropdown and apply your changes by clicking on "Save changes". **Please note:** You only **need to assign the role "Administrator" to one user with admin rights**. The role "Event Manager" does not have to be selected additionally.   - [General](https://help.evenito.com/general?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First steps in evenito](https://help.evenito.com/general?hsLang=en#first-steps-in-evenito) - [Good to know](https://help.evenito.com/general?hsLang=en#good-to-know) - [Space & Navigation](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Navigation](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#navigation) - [General settings](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#general-settings) - [User, Teams & Roles](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#user-teams-roles) - [Templates](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#templates) - [All events](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#all-events) - [Account](https://help.evenito.com/space-navigation?hsLang=en#account) - [Event Dashboard](https://help.evenito.com/event-dashboard?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Event Dashboard](https://help.evenito.com/event-dashboard?hsLang=en#event-dashboard) - [Audit Logs](https://help.evenito.com/event-dashboard?hsLang=en#audit-logs) - [Event settings](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Basics](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#basics) - [Location](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#location) - [Schedule](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#schedule) - [Timeframes](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#timeframes) - [Limits](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#limits) - [Speakers](https://help.evenito.com/event-settings?hsLang=en#speakers) - [Guest management](https://help.evenito.com/guest-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Contacts](https://help.evenito.com/guest-management?hsLang=en#contacts) - [Groups](https://help.evenito.com/guest-management?hsLang=en#groups) - [Forms](https://help.evenito.com/guest-management?hsLang=en#forms) - [Communication](https://help.evenito.com/communication?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Messages](https://help.evenito.com/communication?hsLang=en#messages) - [Website](https://help.evenito.com/communication?hsLang=en#website) - [Content](https://help.evenito.com/content?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Booths](https://help.evenito.com/content?hsLang=en#booths) - [Personalized Files](https://help.evenito.com/content?hsLang=en#personalized-files) - [Photos](https://help.evenito.com/content?hsLang=en#photos) - [Virtual platform](https://help.evenito.com/virtual-platform?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Settings](https://help.evenito.com/virtual-platform?hsLang=en#settings) - [Streams](https://help.evenito.com/virtual-platform?hsLang=en#streams) - [Communication](https://help.evenito.com/virtual-platform?hsLang=en#communication) - [General](https://help.evenito.com/virtual-platform?hsLang=en#general) - [Check-In](https://help.evenito.com/check-in?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Check-in App](https://help.evenito.com/check-in?hsLang=en#check-in-app) - [Backoffice Check-in](https://help.evenito.com/check-in?hsLang=en#backoffice-check-in) - [Scan Agent App](https://help.evenito.com/check-in?hsLang=en#scan-agent-app) - [Ticketing](https://help.evenito.com/ticketing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Tickets](https://help.evenito.com/ticketing?hsLang=en#tickets) - [Hospitality](https://help.evenito.com/hospitality?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Hospitality](https://help.evenito.com/hospitality?hsLang=en#hospitality) - [Reports](https://help.evenito.com/reports?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Reports](https://help.evenito.com/reports?hsLang=en#reports) - [Modules](https://help.evenito.com/modules?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Modules](https://help.evenito.com/modules?hsLang=en#modules) - [Best Practice](https://help.evenito.com/best-practice?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Best Practice](https://help.evenito.com/best-practice?hsLang=en#best-practice) - [Release Notes](https://help.evenito.com/release-notes?hsLang=en#main-content) - [evenito 4.0](https://help.evenito.com/release-notes?hsLang=en#evenito-4-0) © evenito Support Copyright © 2026, evenito AG
