# Event Builder Permission Sets

## Standard Permission Sets

Set default answers on the Event Builder's Basic Information Page to customize the Event page for company purposes.

Users with the Blackthorn | Events (Admin) Permission Set can perform the following steps.

1. Open the Event Builder.
2. Click **Begin from Scratch** and select an Event Type (Venue, Virtual, or Hybrid).
3. Customize the fields in each section.

Users who do not have the Blackthorn | Events (Admin) permission set will see the following message at the end of each section. “If you need to change these fields, contact your admin. Admins will have the Blackthorn | Events (Admin) permission set assigned.“
