Add limitation by Groups to Registration Types for Events
Current behavior:
When creating a registration type it can be set to everyone, members, or members of a selected membership level
Desired Behavior:
Create the ability to limit registrations to members of a group. This way admins can create a group, for example board members and make sure that only they can sign up for board meetings or executive events.

In the end of this year we will be rolling out new version of WA with completely new abilities in Content Management module. Part of the changes are controlling access level of events and ability to hide events based on level or/and group.

I would like to do this as well.
We have meetings for Board Members and Committee members - we use groups to designate these members. We'd like them to be able to register for these meetings on our wild apricot website.
Also, is there a way to make the meeting only visible to those who are in the defined groups, not to the entire membership/public?

Good point, thank you.
Right now you can workaround this by using registration types closed by code and send the code to specific members only.

Some “real life examples” I have:
I'm currently creating events that are specific to certain groups within our membership base. For example, we are planning a "thank you" social event for our volunteer members on specific committees. Each committee is set up as a group so I can email them information, create pages for them, etc. I do not want my entire membership base to be able to register for this event. I just want to have those in the group to get the invitation and be allowed to register for the event.
Board meetings. I have created a group of board members and I would like to create a board meeting event that I only want to have board members register for (so I can understand who will attend). I do not want to send an invitation to this event to the entire membership, although I do want the membership to know the event is occurring, I do not want them all to attend!
Our organization relies completely on volunteer groups. We would like a way to “target” these groups with events planned specifically targeted at their activities.

We would also like to limit event registrations by group level. We have a bunch of events that only families who have paid a participation fee are eligable to register for, and once they paid we add them to a special group. Only members who are also group members should be allowed to register. It does no good to limit them by web page since people can still get to the event page from the calendar.
So put us down as wanting this feature too... thanks!

Actually, being able to use groups in other areas would be extremely useful. For example, ability to send event announcements to select groups (as well as select membership levels, rather than simply members) would be immensely useful.

We would like to be able to make event registration types available to select groups, as well as membership levels. For example:

I would appreciate comments - how this might be useful in real life examples?

We would like the ability to gate event registrations by common fields (e.g. birth date). The feature should be robust enough to handle multiple selections from a drop down list, radial button selection, date range, etc.... The feature should provide a field where we can define the text to be displayed if the registration criteria is not met.
This would reduce overhead required to manage registrations and manually contact/remove individuals that do not meet the criteria.

Hi. My organization holds regular dinner meetings, with various registration types available, eg members, non-members, students, etc. Members of the governing committee get a discounted rate to the dinner. Since all of us committee members are full members as well, I have defined a 'group' called Committee Members, which is checked on for all of us (and can be unchecked if someone leaves the committee).
We've just started doing our first online event registration this month, and so far I've had to ask the committee members to choose the regular Members option so I can then manually change their fee to reflect the discount. Is there a way to make a hidden events registration type for committee members that will be displayed only to those people in that group when they log in? Going by my experiments and the manual, it seems like you can only have 'Board Member' if it's a separate membership type, not a group (but there seems little point to make a separate membership type for 10 people out of 500). Also, I'd rather not have the discounted price viewable by the general public, just by the actual committee members.
Thanks.
