9. Assign appropriate Security Roles:
   1. Ensure the correct Users display under the Event Management Team security role.
   2. Ensure the correct Users display under the Facilities Full Rights security role.
   3. Ensure that all Users who should be able to add an Event have this right from one of their security roles.
