i don't suppose there is some way to grant someone event administrator access (so they may add events only) and still restrict them from seeing the secure portions of the website for a different membership level?

Yes, there is, you can have event manager.

thanks for the quick reply. is there some way to restrict these "event managers" from viewing certain webpages?

in my specific example, we are using the secure log-in section of our website for our board members to access restricted information.  we want to provide certain community members the ability to create community events but we do not want these community members to be able to view the restricted board information.  when the event administrator logs in, they still have administrative rights to access/view that information. can those rights be edited/taken away so they can only see the events page??

 thanks!

Unfortunately there is no way to restrict "event managers", or as matter of fact any manager, from viewing certain webpages. We have made a note and we will try to analyze it in further details.
