How to restrict menu item editing to specific roles
The Menu section in Cadence allows you to control which user roles can modify menu items in your event. By configuring role-based editing permissions, you can ensure that only authorized team members can make changes to your event's navigation structure, maintaining consistency and preventing unauthorized modifications.
When to use
When you need to limit who can modify your event's navigation structure
When working with large event teams with varying responsibilities
When you want to prevent accidental changes to critical navigation elements
When implementing role-based workflows for event management
You must have System Administrator or Admin permissions to configure menu item editing restrictions.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Event Setup" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Menu" from the submenu that appears.
Click the "Options" button in the top-right corner of the Menu page.
Select "Menu Editing Permissions" from the dropdown menu.
Review the available user roles that can be granted menu editing permissions:
System Administrators
Admins
Event Managers
Event Schedulers
Check the boxes next to each role you want to grant menu editing permissions to.
For most events, it's recommended to limit menu editing permissions to Admins and Event Managers to maintain consistency.
Toggle "Allow Menu Item Creation" to control whether selected roles can add new menu items.
Toggle "Allow Menu Item Deletion" to control whether selected roles can remove existing menu items.
If you restrict deletion permissions, users may still be able to disable menu items by toggling them off instead of deleting them.
Click "Save" to apply your permission changes.
Verify the changes by logging in as different user types to confirm permissions are working correctly.
Troubleshooting
If users report they cannot edit menu items despite having the correct role:
Confirm they have the correct role assigned in the Events Team section
Verify they are accessing the menu through the Admin interface, not the attendee view
Check if they need to refresh their browser or log out and back in
