Users vs Organizers

[cjl]

I am completely confused about 'sub-users' vs 'organizers'. We have a multi-user account with an 'owner/administrator'. The owner can see/edit all the events so if I do User Owned Events for the owner I get everything back. If I ask for users/me/organizers I get back pages of organizers. But the organizers do not seem to be linked directly to the sub-user accounts. The sub-user accounts can only edit their own events, but if I create an event using the admin token how do I link it to the sub-user. I do not want to have to maintain all the sub-user account details in my app but want to link the sub-user via the organizer.

Example: I login as account owner (using token), create an event for the 'organizer 2', this should then link the event to sub-user 2 so that when they login to the EB web pages to check in attendees they have access to that event. But instead I have to go in via the admin account on the web and link that event to the sub user.

Also, if I create an organizer via the api - how do I link that organizer to my sub-user?

Hi there! 

Apologies for the confusion on this.

Here are a couple insights into our architecture (that I admit aren't very intuitive) that might make these concepts a bit easier: 

• "Sub-users" can make actions on behalf of the main user, but they can't ever "own" an Event or Organizer.
• Even if a Sub-user is creating an Event, the Event is still owned by the main user. 
• A main user can own many different Organizer profiles, but the Events are still always owned by the main user, regardless of which Organizer profile is associated with the event. 
• Unfortunately, you can't create/update any sub-user permissions via the API. 

Our concept of "sub-users" is something that I would love to see us improve in the future, but it's currently in the backlog and I don't have a timeline for when it will be updated. 

Still, I hope this information is helpful! 

Cheers!
