\n- Free<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Gold<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You can use these default levels or create custom membership levels depending on your requirements.

\n- Navigate to MEC \u2192 Settings \u2192 Integrations \u2192 Paid Memberships Pro<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You will see three restriction options:\n
\n- Event Restriction<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Booking Restriction<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ticket Restriction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Each option controls a different level of access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Event Restriction<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEvent Restriction is the highest level of limitation. It restricts the entire event content based on membership level. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Event images<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Descriptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Booking forms<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- All visible event content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Enable Event Restriction<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Enable Event Restriction<\/strong> in the integration settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Save the settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Open the desired event for editing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Locate the Require Membership<\/strong> widget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Important Note<\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\nIf Event Restriction is enabled for an event, disabling the option from integration settings alone will not remove the restriction. You must manually remove membership selections from the Require Membership<\/strong> widget inside the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Booking Restriction<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBooking Restriction limits access only to the booking form. Users can still view event details, but only specific membership levels can book tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Key Difference<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nUnlike Event Restriction, Booking Restriction can be applied based on event categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Configure Booking Restriction<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Enable Booking Restriction<\/strong> in integration settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Save the settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under each membership level, you will see a list of MEC event categories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the categories you want to restrict for each membership plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Save changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Example<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIf you restrict the category Australia<\/strong> to the Gold membership level:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Only Gold members can access the booking form for events in that category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
