Running drupal 7 and civi 4.1
I don't know if this is possible and have poked around, read documentation and such...to no avail.

Can you restrict registration based upon a civi-role?
I would like volunteers to "register" for an event but I don't want the "public" to be able to do the same.
However, I want the event on the calendar.
Any ideas?

isn't this question about restricting to a particular event? if so, is lobo's answer relevant, or are you thinking of an acl hook for a specific event?

Restricting the event registration page would be fine. However, I don't think it would work for my application.

To answer the calendar question, I am using http://drupal.org/project/civicrm_events and it works good. Very simple.

Using views would probably be the best bet.

However, I am thinking that this functionality would be desirable for all organizations and not just political.

Having multiple levels of registration.
Guests (participants)
Volunteers
Speakers and Hosts.....

Perhaps the Participant role could be predefined by the Civi-role

I don't know.....it is just a thought.

Here is my situation to be specific:
I am holding a function.
I want my guests to register as attendees
I want my "interns" to register as volunteers
I want my speakers to register as speakers.

Now....there are certain events where we only want our interns to be able to register......lets say a public appearance at a city council meeting. In that situation I wouldn't want anyone BUT the interns to be able to have the ability to register (limit 2). However I would want the "public" to be able to see that the time slot was unavailable for any other purpose (i.e. have it seen on the calendar).

Hope I have been more clear.....burning the midnight oil ad all.
