Event Manager Role
The Event Manager role (sp_event_manager) is designed for users responsible for scheduling fixtures and entering match results. Event Managers have full publish, edit, and delete access for events, including the ability to edit other users' events. Their access to teams, players, and staff is limited to viewing and editing existing published records — they cannot publish new ones without administrator approval.

Team Access
When the Team Access module is active, an Event Manager can be restricted to only see and edit content belonging to their assigned team(s). Their admin list screens for events, players, staff, teams, player lists, and calendars will be filtered accordingly.
