i've created an event and set all the permissions so that only a super administrator can do anything other than edit own event, however if I go to the front end and don't login and go to the user panel, it lets me edit all the user details:

Is this a bug or have I not done something correctly?
Open the User Panel menu item that you created in your Joomla menu. Click the User Panel menu item to open/edit it. On the left, you'll see "Access Level". Change this from "Public" to "Registered". Save and you're done. Now people will not even see that link unless they are logged in.
