Speaker cannot update Speaker information on the agenda

Generally when a Speaker is assigned to the speaker role in our online agenda, they are allowed to log in and update their Speaker information. They are not allowed to do this now. Can you please investigate why this is occurring.

Thanks for your assistance,

You need to make sure that "This is a role for which members can sign up" is checked in the role settings for those roles. That is what is missing.

I checked this setting for your October 19 agenda, so Tracy can now edit her speech info.

However, you will need to fix that in future agendas and/or templates.

Hi Steve...

Thanks so much!

1. did you change that in 'edit meeting agenda' | 'meeting agenda items' then select the speaker role to edit. Then scroll to the bottom and check "This is a role for which members can sign up"? I am asking because we never use that option....as members do not 'sign up' for meeting roles, we pre-assign everyone to their roles. So this, I am thinking would not be checked off normally.

2. Or did you change it at 'meeting agenda settings' | agenda templates - but once again, we don';t use the sign up option.

I am also going to follow up with our VP Education who creates these agendas as perhaps an incorrect template was used.

Thanks for the prompt assistance!

The presumption is that if someone can sign up then they should be able to update speech details. However, the converse is not currently supported. Essentially, the "sign up" check box determines whether the corresponding agenda item (any part of it) can be changed by a member who is not the Toastmaster and not logged in as the admin.

I think you followed step #1, as I just tried it, following those steps and it worked.
I have been the webmaster since the beginning and none of the 'how to' instructions I wrote up for my club members for this particular situation, noted to select the option: "This is a role for which members can sign up" in order for the speaker to edit the agenda to update their speech particulars. Still seems confusing to me :)

I am going to change this. Give me a few days or so to sort it out... The logic is very convoluted (for me also), and I think the sign-up check box requirement got added somewhere for the speech details... I don't think it should be that way.
