# Create and Share Partner Events

Run webinars, training sessions, and field events for your partner network, share them with the right partners, and see who's coming.

---

## Overview

**Events** is where you publish anything your partners should show up to — a quarterly roadmap webinar, a certification session, a regional field event, or a plain calendar entry. You create the event, choose who it goes to, and partners RSVP from their own portal.

:::info
Creating and sharing events needs an Admin or Editor role. A read-only role still sees the **Create Event** button, but the save is rejected. See [Account](/get-started/account/).
:::

## Find Events

Go to **Suger Console**, then **Partners**. In the sidebar, under **Workspace**, click **Events**.

The feed splits into three tabs so you can tell your own events from your partners':

| Tab | What it shows |
|-----|---------------|
| **All** | Every event you can see, yours and your partners'. |
| **Shared** | Events your organization created and shared out. |
| **Received** | Events a partner shared with you. |

Switch between a **List** and a **Calendar** view with the toggle — both show the same filtered set, so the tab you're on still applies.

## Create an Event

Click **Create Event**.

1. **Title** — what partners will see, for example "Q3 Partner Roadmap Webinar".
2. **Type** — one of four:
   - **Webinar / Online Session**
   - **Certification / Training Session**
   - **In-Person / Field Event**
   - **General Calendar Event**
3. **Description** — what the event is about.
4. **Date**, then **Start** and **End** times, and a **Timezone**.
5. **Meeting URL** or **Address** — the field changes to match: online events ask for a link, in-person events ask for a location.
6. **RSVP** — whether partners can respond.
7. **Capacity** — optional, and **only available when RSVP is enabled**. Leave it blank for unlimited.
8. **Share with** — see below.

:::warning
An event goes live as soon as you save it. There is no draft state and no separate publish step — if it isn't ready for partners to see, don't save it yet.

### Choose Who Sees It

**Share with** offers three options:

| Option | Who receives it |
|--------|-----------------|
| **All partners** | Everyone in your partner network. |
| **Specific partners** | Only the partners you pick. You must select at least one. |
| **Partners by tier** | Every partner in the tiers you pick. You must select at least one. See [Set Up and Manage Partner Tiers](/prm/partner-tiers/). |

An event can't be saved until it has a title, a date, and a valid audience.

## Track RSVPs

On an event you own, the **RSVPs** column shows the attending count — `12 / 50 attending` when you set a capacity, or just `12 attending` when you didn't. Click it to open the roster.

Partners answer **Attending** or **Decline**. Only *Attending* responses count toward capacity — if someone declines after accepting, their seat is released.

:::info
The roster is a guest list, not a response log: it lists **only the people attending**, with their name
and organization. Partners who declined, or who never answered, do not appear — so the row count in the
roster always matches the attending count, and there is no way to see who said no.
:::

If you set a **Capacity**:

- A partner whose RSVP would push the event past capacity is refused.
- You can't later lower capacity below the number already attending — Suger blocks it with *"Capacity can't be below the number of people already attending."* Raise the capacity instead, or wait for someone to decline.

## Removing an Event

The only way to take an event down is to **delete** it.

:::warning
Deleting is permanent — the confirmation reads *"This can't be undone."* There is no cancel-but-keep-the-record option, so an event you delete disappears from your feed and from every partner's. If you need a record of a cancelled event, note it elsewhere first.
:::

## What Your Partners See

Partners get a **receive-only** view of Events:

- They see only the events shared with them — the **All / Shared / Received** tab row is hidden, because there is nothing to split.
- There is no **Create Event** button; partners cannot publish events to you.
- They respond with **Attending** or **Decline** from their portal.

:::tip
Because partners only ever see events shared with them, **Partners by tier** is the cleanest way to run a tiered program — a Gold-only enablement session never appears to anyone else.
:::

## Scope and Limits

- **No draft or cancelled state.** An event is live from the moment you save it, and delete is the only way to remove it.
- **RSVP is a simple yes/no.** There are no waitlists.
- **Events are not calendar invitations.** Suger does not send an `.ics` file or write to a partner's calendar — the event lives in the portal.
- A partner record also carries its own **Events** section; see [Work a Partner Record](/prm/work-a-partner-record/).
