How can I create and configure a calendar for my workgroup?
Allen Hopkins, 19 Dec 2001

You can create a calendar for a workgroup if you have Administrator privileges for that workgroup.

From your workgroup's admin page, click on the "Configure group" link. On the resulting page click the "Calendar" checkbox in the "Workspace options" section of the form, and the click the "Change group configuration" button at the bottom to submit your configuration change. The dropdown menu for your workgroup should now include an item called "calendar", from which you can access your calendar.

Access to the calendar can be controlled in basically the same way as access to the other sections of your workgroup (faq, forum, etc.), i.e., from the "Access control" subpage of your group's "admin" page.

From your workgroup's dropdown menu, select "admin", and from the resulting page click on "Access control". This takes you to a page of forms for controlling access to the sections of your workgroup. You should see a section labelled, "calendar".

The access settings have the following meanings:

Read

User can view calendar and click on events for details.

Write

User can add events to the calendar, and edit or delete only events orginated by him/herself.

Modify

User can edit or delete any event on the calendar, regardless of its originator.

Annotate and Execute

have no effect.

Only logged-in website users can create or modify events, regardless of the settings for "world". This is because events must have a user's identity associated with them.
