Editor Groups allow administrators to delegate session editing permissions to non-administrator users. By creating and assigning groups, you can specify exactly which users can edit which session details and which fields they are allowed to modify. This is helpful when you want speakers, staff, or other designated users to update their own session content without giving them full administrative access.
Editor Groups are event-specific and must be created within each event where you want to use them.
Once groups are created, you can assign them to both users and sessions to control permissions.
Creating Editor Groups
- Select the desired event, then click Editors from the left navigation panel.

- Select Edit Groups.

- Create a group by typing its name into the field, then press Enter.

- Click Save Groups when ready.
- Select the session field(s) that members of this group will have access to modify. This can include standard session details as well as any custom fields you have created.

- Click Save Groups again to confirm.
Assigning Users to Editor Groups
Once your groups are created, you can assign them to users. There are two ways to do this: when adding a user, or directly from the main Editor Groups list. To do it from the Editor Groups section, go to this area within your event.
Click the Add User button to bring up a pop-up for assignment.
You can search users by name or email and assign them to one or more groups.

You can add as many users as needed to bulk assign them to one or multiple groups at once.
Managing Sessions with Editor Groups
After groups and users are set up, you can decide which sessions are assigned to which groups. This determines which sessions the selected group is able to edit.
You can assign groups individually per session or in bulk:
- Within a Session: Open the Session Detail and specify which Editor Group(s) the session belongs to.

- Bulk Assign: Select two or more sessions, then click the bulk edit icon.

- In the bulk edit view, select Editor Groups from the property dropdown menu.

- Select the desired groups, and click Update.

You can specify if you would like to replace the current selection with the new group, add this group, or remove it if the group is already assigned to the selected sessions.
Additional Settings
From the Editors page, you can provide specific instructions for editors to review before editing sessions.
Click the Settings button in the top-right corner of the page:

This will bring up a pop-up with a rich text editor so you can customize your instructions:

Updating Editor Groups
Once editor groups are created, you may need to update them later to adjust permissions, rename them, or remove groups that are no longer needed.
- Go to Events, and click the desired event tile.
- From the left panel, click Editors.
- Click the Edit Groups button at the top.
- Here, you can complete the following actions:
- Rename a group
- Change permissions by unchecking or checking specific fields
- Delete a group if no longer needed
Click Save Groups to apply updates.
