Version 5 Permission Settings

Permission Settings

Permission settings adjust which user roles can create terms ( calendars, categories, locations, organizers, guests ) and events.

Default settings allow only users with Administrator role to create/edit terms and events.

To change these settings navigate to Calendar Dashboard -> Settings -> Dashboard tab

Access Dashboard - Determines the users authorized to access the calendar dashboard.

The dashboard shows only the options permitted for each user. 

If a user can access the dashboard but lacks the ability to manage terms, the corresponding option will not be visible on the dashboard.

By default, all logged-in users can access the dashboard to view reminders, attendances, and ticket orders if the front-end dashboard option is enabled.

Manage terms - Specifies the users with the ability to create and edit new terms. Users cannot edit terms created by other users unless they have additional permissions granted by the term author.

For example when creating a new calendar term the user has option to set "Edit permission"

By default, this value is set to "Private," signifying that only the calendar author can edit it. Other users, even if permitted to "Manage terms," cannot edit this calendar.

Exception: Super admins can see and edit everything.

Manage events - Specifies the users with the ability to create and edit events. 

When creating an event, users can choose which user roles are permitted to edit it. 

Similar to term rules, the same principles apply to events.

By default, only the event author can manage their own events. Even if a user has the authority to manage events, they cannot edit events created by other users without permission.

Import settings - Specifies the users authorized to use the import settings and cron jobs in the Calendar Dashboard.

Enforce private admin

When these options are selected, the calendar will enforce private mode for both terms and events. 

This implies that only the authors can manage or view (when private front-end is enabled) their items. 

All Edit Permissions, Use Permissions, and Read Permissions (when private front-end is enforced) settings will be removed, and items will be automatically assigned to private.
