+<h3>How do I restrict the access rights of my event to certain users?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-do-i-restrict-the-access-rights-of-my-event-to-certain-users" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>In order to do that, go to the Managment Area of your event and
+select the &#8216;Protection&#8217; entry in the side menu. Once that you are in
+the protection settings, pay attention to the &#8216;Access Control&#8217; settings.
+In order to set the access rights, you have to make your event &#8216;Private&#8217; first by
+changing its &#8216;Current status&#8217; to either &#8216;Private by itself&#8217; or &#8216;Private by inheritance&#8217;
+(if available). Once the event is private, add users to the &#8216;Users allowed to access&#8217; list
+by clicking the &#8216;Add user to list&#8217; button. A form will be displayed in which you can
+search for users by entering their family name, first name, etc... You can also restrict
+the access to groups of users by filling the &#8216;Group name&#8217; entry of the search form and
+select one of the resulting groups. All the people included
+in the group will be granted access to the event.</p>
+<p>For example, if somebody wants to grant access to his/her event only to users from the CERN,
+he/she will first search for the group containing all the CERN users (namely &#8216;CERN Users&#8217;) and
+add this group to the list of users allowed to access. The &#8216;Access Control&#8217; section will then
+look like this :</p>
