#### Description of the bug If a staff (Django-related role) is authenticated and tries to retrieve this endpoint : /app-admin/user-event/ he'll get the following error if debug = true

If debug = false, the user will get a 500 error #### To Reproduce ##### Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  Create a user/account (user1)
  Login as admin/superuser (admin) and add user1 to staff.
