FAQs: Account Admin & Security in Event Tech

Managing account admin and security for an event tech platform means balancing ease of access with strict data protection. From permissions and localization to login management and compliance, here are answers to some of the most common questions organizers ask when setting up and securing their events.

What are user roles and permissions in an event platform?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Roles and permissions define what each type of user — such as admins, exhibitors, or staff — can see and do in the platform. This helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and keeps workflows efficient.

Understand organization member roles
How does Swapcard handle access control for exhibitors and agencies?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Swapcard allows you to create exhibitor groups with tailored permissions, control lead access, and even restrict editing to specific fields. This ensures partners only manage their own content and contacts.

Can I restrict session or content access to certain attendees?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Using group-based permissions, you can limit who can view sessions, exhibitor profiles, or specific content. This is often used for premium programming or sponsor-exclusive sessions.

Learn about content & session management
How do event timezones work in Swapcard?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Organizers set a default timezone for the event, which applies across schedules, meeting times, and communications. For virtual events, Swapcard automatically adjusts times to the attendee’s local timezone.

Does Swapcard support multi-language events?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

You can set a default language, enable multiple additional languages, and translate content directly in Studio. This helps you deliver a localized experience for international audiences.

What is Single Sign-On (SSO), and why should I use it for my event?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

SSO lets attendees and staff log in with existing credentials from your organization’s identity provider, reducing password fatigue and improving security. It also streamlines access across multiple event apps or services.

How can I set up SSO in Swapcard?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Organizers can configure SSO directly from Studio’s Application tab, including uploading metadata, arranging login options, and testing authentication flows before going live.

What security measures does Swapcard have in place to protect event data?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Swapcard uses SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified processes, AES-256 encryption, continuous monitoring, and protections against data scraping and malicious traffic.

Can I enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for my team?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

MFA can be enabled for organizer accounts to add an extra layer of security, helping prevent unauthorized logins even if a password is compromised.

How do I verify my organization in Swapcard?
Icon (Stroke)Icon (Stroke)

Verified organizations gain access to enhanced communication tools and reduced impersonation risk. Verification is requested and managed through Studio with documentation review by the Swapcard team.
