With event campaigns, volunteer hosts are able to view and manage their own events in the dashboard, or events that they are co-hosting.
There are two levels of permissions that you can grant to volunteer hosts:
Host

🔎 For event campaigns that require approval
Trusted Hosts...

Co-hosts.
Can edit the event type and add additional timeslots to an event in some cases.
