Publish Event button is missing or disabled

Open Events → Events → select your event → Overview.

The overview shows the Publish section only when the event is a draft and meets readiness checks: virtual or a location name, an event image and contact fields. Once ready, the button requires Advanced Events Admin, Events Superadmin, or Superadmin; Basic Events Admin alone cannot publish. Inspect readiness and the assigned role separately rather than assuming saving an event publishes it. A generic edit screen may show Preview instead of the overview's publishing controls.

Change staff access

A Superadmin or Events Superadmin can open Events → Administrators → select the person → Role(s), assign the appropriate role using Add Another → Update Role(s), and check Events Access. The role’s individual capabilities are fixed.
