Hi Griffin,
I have tested this with a test user and I am able to view the group event page without restriction once I have joined the group.
If the user that is used is already apart of that closed group and is still having issues viewing the event, can you provide me the user's login info so I can test this? Thanks.

Here is a student account assigned to each group, and the group events. This account can view the group, and the event is listed in "My Events"... but is denied access.

I am adding the front end user to the details.

Hey Griffin,
Looks like there is a bug here where the system is checking for the user's event creation permission when trying to view the event page.
I will log this issue in our tracker so the devs can address this.
In the meantime, if you want a temporary fix, I have attached a file which you can apply into the directory below. Remember to backup the files beforehand.
JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/group/group.php
Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for the fix. We'll test it now and let you know. We are hoping to get things working before the weekend (your weekend.) THANKS!

You're most welcome Griffin. Alright, go ahead and let us know once you have tested the fix.
Regards.

I have enabled event creation for the Student Profile Type group for now. Please let me know when the fix is released and we will update.
With event creation open, there are no access issues.

Thanks.

You're welcome. Sure we will let you know when the fix is released.
If you have any other issues, feel free to start a a new thread.
Closing this thread for now.
Regards.
