Help Contents • Form • Help Document
   
   
   
Use this form to set properties for a calendar group. These properties affect all calendars belonging to this calendar group, except where overridden for a specific calendar.

Item expiry
The number of days an event or task can stay in these calendars before expiring. The value Default uses the default expiry period for your server.
Who

The names of users and user groups for whom you want to specify levels of access to these calendars. Add a name just as you would when addressing a message. The order in which you list users and user groups matters, as described below. To insert a name, click at the end of the name above the insertion point, then press Enter/Return. To move a name, select it, then drag it to the desired location in the list. To remove a name, select it, then press Enter/Return.
Access

Choose the access level for each user and group you entered at "Who".
Permissions

Customize the individual permissions for this access level if required.



Order in the "Who" field
You must list users and user groups in the "Who" field in the correct order, to make their permissions work as you want. Make sure you are familiar with the access levels available, before deciding on the order in which to enter your users and user groups.
When a user opens these calendars, FirstClass checks the "Who" list from the top. When it finds the first occurrence of the user or a group to which the user belongs, it uses that access level for the user. This means that if the first thing you list is the All Users group, and make the access level for this group Disallowed, no one will be able to access these calendars.



Access levels
Access levels are predefined sets of individual permissions. You can assign access levels as is, or customize them by selecting and clearing individual permissions.

No Access
Cannot access these calendars.
See Times

Can look at these calendars, but only see the times set aside for events and tasks.
Schedule Only

Can add events to these calendars indirectly. An event is added to a resource or location calendar indirectly when a user creates an event in another calendar and books this location or resource.
Schedule+Times

Can look at these calendars (times only) and add events indirectly.
Schedule+Details
Can see details on these calendars and add events indirectly.
Editor

Has all previous permissions, and can open calendar items, edit and delete items, download attachments, and view item history.
Custom

Access is defined by the individual permissions that are selected; if you customize another access level, it automatically becomes the Custom access level.



Individual permissions
The icons in the "Permissions" column represent individual permissions. To see what each permission icon means, hover the cursor over it. To toggle a permission on and off, click the icon.

These are the individual permissions you can assign:

Edit read-only items

Edit items
