# How to Assign Events Permission Sets

**Important**

          

When a user installs Blackthorn Events via the Candy Shop, we automatically assign the Blackthorn Events Admin and Blackthorn Payments Admin Permission Sets to the installing user.

There are two starting points for assigning permissions: the Blackthorn | Events Admin tab and the Setup menu. You can assign one or more users to a permission set by *[Assigning a User to a Permission Set](/v1/docs/how-to-assign-events-permission-sets#assign-a-user-to-a-permission-set)*. Or you can assign one or more permission sets to your users by *[Assigning a Permission Set to a User](/v1/docs/how-to-assign-events-permission-sets#assign-a-permission-set-to-a-user)*.

          
          

If any of your users need access to financial data related to paid registrations or Discount Codes, they will need a Payments license and will need to be related to one of the packaged Payments permission sets or a custom permission set. Financial data includes data from Invoices, Discount Codes, Transactions, Payment Methods, and Payment Gateway objects.

## Important Things to Remember

If you create a custom permission set, you must modify it after each Events release to make sure that users continue to have access.

1. Go to the Blackthorn | Events Admin tab.
2. Click one or both of the following buttons.
  - Click **Assign Events Permission Sets to All Users** to assign the most common permissions sets.
  - Click **Advanced Permission Assignments** to assign/remove multiple permission sets at once.
