Event Visibility and Access

When creating an event in a Sangam, you can control who can see and attend it.

Public Events

Visible to all Smara users, even those not in your Sangam.
Appear in the global event listings and search results.
Any Smara user can RSVP and attend.
Ideal for festivals, temple celebrations, and open community gatherings.

Private Events

Visible only to members of the Sangam where the event is created.
Do not appear in global search or event listings.
Only Sangam members can RSVP.
Ideal for small group prayers, family ceremonies, or study sessions.

How Visibility Is Determined

The event visibility setting is separate from the Sangam visibility:

| Sangam Type | Event Visibility Options | |-------------|------------------------| | Public Sangam | Public or Private events | | Private Sangam | Private events only |

Events in a private Sangam are always private, since the group itself is hidden from non-members.

Changing Event Visibility

The event creator or a Sangam admin can change an event's visibility by editing the event before it takes place. Changing a public event to private will not remove existing RSVPs.
