Calcium Documentation - Calendar Security
Restricting Access to Individual Calendars
When someone with System Administration privileges creates a new calendar, security settings
are copied from an exiting calendar, or the system defaults are used.
The creator can also specify the "owner" of the calendar - that user
will have Adminstration rights in the new calendar.
To change permissions for an existing calendar, follow the
Security link from the Settings page for that calendar.
Each calendar has its own security settings; a user can have different
permissions in each calendar. One of five levels of security can be
assigned to a user for a calendar:
| None | The user has no access at all |
| View Only |
The user can only view events |
| Add Events |
The user can view events and add new events |
| Edit Events |
The user can view, add new events, and edit existing events
|
| Administer |
The user can do all of the above, plus change calendar
settings |
Note that each level of security includes those rights from
all less-privileged levels.
The Security page has two groups of controls; one section is for
setting the permissions for anonymous users (i.e. anyone who hasn't
logged in), and the other has controls for setting permissions for each
individual user. A row of buttons corresponding to each security level
is displayed for each user.
So, to set permissions for the calendar, simply select the desired
permission level for each user, then press the Set Permissions
button.
Important Notes:
- If a user has System
Administration privileges, they will always have Administer
privileges in every calendar. If you try to change their
permission, it will revert to "Administer".
- You cannot remove your own Administer privileges.
- If a new user is created, their default permissions for each
existing calendar will be the same as that set for anonymous
users.
