Terminology
Event Managers
They are users with permission to edit the event, i.e. access the Edit Event page.
Give people who will be administering an Event the Event Manager role
Event Workers
They are users who are designated as working at the event
A user who is the Event Manager can also be an Event Worker
If Assign Guests to Event Workers is enabled, it is the Event Workers who can be assigned to a Guest; not an Event Manager
Event Guests
They are the Contacts who have been added to the event as guests
The range contacts who can be added to an event is restricted to the contacts within the project that the Event is linked to
An event is linked to a single project
Event Capacity
By default each event has Unlimited Capacity. This means that you can add as many guests as you want.
Alternatively you can set an event to having Fixed Capacity. You are then prompted to enter a number for the maximum capacity of the event. This will restrict the number of guests that can be added to the event, to that number
