Manage & Editing Roles

The event managers listed below need to have their own Indico account.

  • Conference/Meeting/Lecture Managers (Modification Control) - Only the managers listed in the modification control, the creator of the meeting, and any administrators can access the Management Area of the meeting. All users listed in the Management Area will have full control of the entire event. However, you can add a Modification Key which means anyone with this key can modify the meeting without logging in.
  • Session Managers - The Session Manager has full control of a session. However, your Conference or Meeting Manager may request you not to edit some parts of the session. You are given the Session Manager rights by your Conference or Meeting Manager.
  • Session Coordinators (Default Conveners) - The Session Coordinator is responsible for scheduling contributions and breaks within their own session. However, contributions must be imported by the Session Manager or Conference Manager before they can add them to their session.

    Note: When editing session properties (see below: Test Session 1 & 2), Indico will define session coordinators as "default conveners" of that session. Default conveners will not be listed on the session block since they are considered session administrators within the Indico system.

    People defined as "conveners" in this context should really be considered as "chairpeople," in that they are expected to lead the meeting or session itself and not given (by default) admin rights to alter the session in Indico. Conveners of a session block will be listed on that block (see below), but will not have any rights to schedule contributions or breaks within their own session block.

     

  • Contribution Managers - The Contribution Manager is responsible for managing the information in a contribution. Your are given contribution management access by either the Conference or Event Manager, Session Manager, the existing Contribution Manager and possibly the Session Coordinator. You can access your contribution by selecting Timetable from the menu in the event home page and finding your contribution. If you are the manager of that contribution you will see a pencil button. This will take you to your contribution management area.

Site Access Control

Indico has a two common access keys.

  • Modification Key - This allows all users to make edit to the entire event with a common access key. Anyone with this key can modify the meeting without logging in.
  • Access Control Key - This allows all users to view the event with a common access key. When the meeting is public, anyone can view the meeting including the details, timetable, material, etc. When the meeting is private, only those in the access list, meeting managers, and administrators can view the meeting.
