Authorize Events

By authorizing the Events app, the Event data you create in Salesforce will be visible on your registration page. We recommend reauthorizing the app if the initial authorized user has new permission sets or a new user has taken over the role (this can be avoided by using an Integration User). If there is an authentication error after clicking the Event Page URL, you will need to reauthorize the app.

If the authorizing user has a System Admin profile, they need both an Events and Payments license with the following permission sets.

• Blackthorn | Events (Admin)
• Blackthorn | Payments (Admin)

If the authorizing user has a Standard User profile, they need an Events and Payments license with the following.

• Blackthorn | Events (Admin) permission set
• Blackthorn | Payments (Admin) permission set
• API enabled
• Customize Application system permissions
• Sharing Settings for all Event objects set to "Public Read/Write"
• "View All" access to the Account, Contact, and Product objects and "Read" access to all the fields on these objects.
