# Adding an event

How to add an event on Nexudus.

{% hint style="info" %}
Members and contacts can view information about an event or buy tickets via the space website, but they cannot add events. Only [user account holders](/platform/settings/managing-users.md) with admin access to the dashboard can add events.
