The events team is working hard to make event listings more useful to Residents and event hosts. Therefore, we are introducing a number of new features and controls. To ensure that hosts can continue to post great events without interruption, we wanted to ensure you know about upcoming changes.
 
{{KBwarning|If you currently host events on group-owned land, please be aware that you may have to make a change in order continue to post events.}}
 
The current version of the Viewer 2 Beta (2.3), can now be used to manage the new group-owned land permissions. To post events, you must be an ''owner'' of the group OR a group owner must grant you that ability via a role.
 
== How to grant the ability to host an event ==

|valign=top| To give someone the ability to host an event on group-owned land, first create an "event host" role for the group, and then add the person to that role.  NOTE: You can also add this ability to an existing group role.
 
To create an "event host" role, follow these steps:
 
# Click <span style="background-color: #2B2B2B; padding: 10px 3px 3px 3px;">{{TabIcon_People}}</span> to display People tab in the Sidebar.
# Click the '''MY GROUPS''' tab.
# Mouse over your group name, and then click <span style="background-color: #2B2B2B; padding: 3px;">{{Icon_ForwardArrow}}</span> to display details for the group.
# Click the '''ROLES''' tab.
# Click '''New Role''' to create a new role, as shown at right.

{{KBcaution| [http://secondlife.com/downloads/ Download Viewer 2.3 Beta] and make this change today! We will be enforcing this restriction when this Viewer beta (2.23) becomes the production stable release approx. 3-4 weeks from beta release! }}
 
== Other events features ==
Several new features are coming for events, including:
* Extending the length of an event.
* Blocking duplicate event spamming, so that your event isn't lost in a sea of spam postings.
* Introducing the ability to add formatting to your event posts.
 
We're really excited about the changes and we hope you will be, too. Look for a blog post soon from the Events Team!
