CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I work for an international NGO. CSOD hosts our CiviCRM installation and I do not have access to backend tweaking. We are trialing CiviCRM for use by our own staff in several countries.
Their tasks are all OFF-LINE: to record & track contributions received by mail, to schedule events and invite and track participants again, to mail subscriptions. Our staff meet experts in the areas in which we work and contacts them later for collaboration on programs. We like the CiviCRM user interface for tracking activities, events, contributions & memberships.

Am I correct that I must give CiviAdminister permission to all our staff in order for them to use CiviEvents to schedule Events and that this means I can not use the CiviCRM Access Lists to control the visibility of custom data needed by one program or one site but not another, because with all users having CiviAdminister permission they can all see all the data.
