Restricting Event Administration

[joumak]

Is is possible to restrict administration of events? We would like to restrict an event administrator to only see parcipants of the event (contact information & possible contributions), not all the contacts of the database. I have tried to achieve this in two ways in CiviCRM (WP): by multisite and civicrm acls. I created in both cases smart group consisting of event participants. In multisite smart group was a child group of event domain group containing contacts from the main domain group, but it doesn't seem to work (no participants were listed in Event Participant view). In ACLs there seemed not to be suitable permissions for the event administration. Should I try something else or should either of the tried solutions work?

i would go down the acl path rather than the multi-site path. That seems a bit more well trodden

I would also focus on restricting the list of contacts visible to the user and then deal with the other objects (like events)

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but didn't manage to create restricted administrator for events. In CiviCRM ACL management I created a role Event Administrator with view & edit permissions to "group of contacts" (participant group) and to specific event (, but if I understood correcty, It only allows viewing  & registering the event online). In WordPress access control I gave to the corresponding role all permissions for administering CiviEvents. I didn't give in WP access control any permissions relating to all contacts.
