I have a master site group and want to create an event in that group.

I am logged in as a site admin but cannot see any option to create a new event. (phot)

I checked in the back end:

Group
Groups - Events enabled
Category - ACL - Allow Group Event enabled

Is there a setting I am missing somewhere.

I logged in as admin and as normal user. Same issue.
Actually that custom field is under group workflow, you can refer on my attached screenshot below.

Because this field only appear on the group creation page instead of event creation page.

What area of Easy... do I also need to create something in payplans or just in EasySocial and then assign them manually?

I have a question, do you have set anything for your site admin in payplans like create a subscription to them?
If no, you can actually just create a new profile type in Easysocial and you do not need to configure anything in Payplans is because site owner will not allow new user to register for this site admin profile type, so after you created it, you have to set 'allow in registration' to NO, only assign to this admin profile type through backend.

That was strange, may i know which site admin you logged in? because the system will allow site admin and the group owner able to create event by default.

If you would like to allow group member to create event, you have to add this 'create event' custom field from your group workflow, you can check my attached screenshot below.

By the way, i also realised your basic profile type doesn't allow user to create event from the ACL setting.

So make sure you logged in that user account is under premium profile type.

logged in as phot. I am also the creator of the group.

This first image what is the path to that view where it shows owner, admin, group member.

I logged in as admin and premium member. Basic members cannot create events.

It seems like the current system also will check for the siteAdmin whether the ACL part should allow him to create event or not.

Because i just checked this David user account, it seems like he under basic profile type, this is why it unable to create event on the site.

I think for those site admin user you should assign them to another new profile type only specific for the site admin.

This first image what is the path to that view where it shows owner, admin, group member.

I logged in as admin and premium member. Basic members cannot create events.

You can add this 'create event' custom field from backend > Easysocial > custom field > workflow > select your group workflow (based on your existing group categories) > add new > create event custom field

So this field will appear on the group creation page allow group owner to decide whether they want to allow group member to create event.

Ok I get to this stage You can add this 'create event' custom field from backend > Easysocial > custom field > workflow > select your group workflow (based on your existing group categories) > add new

There is no option for creating an event creation field. I only see 2 tabs and a number of options (photo) nothing like event creation or even an option to freestyle.

assign them to another new profile type only specific for the site admin.
What area of Easy... do I also need to create something in payplans or just in EasySocial and then assign them manually?

I have created an admin profile type in EasyS, I think this is set up correctly so its not available in frontend but assigned from backend.
