Giving permissions to users of custom groups

After creating the custom groups you have to give permissions to the users of the custom groups to set the privileges so that they can access the calendars and events that correspond to them.

Remember that for the role system to work correctly you must have activated the option in the roles and permissions menu.

Validate yourself in TuCalendi with your username and password. Go to the "Calendars" option.

Dashboard with two calendars

The first step is to give permissions to the calendar.

Calendar permissions

Locate the calendar you want to give permissions to and "click on the three vertical dots" to display the calendar options menu.

Calendar menu

Select the "Permissions" option:

Add a custom group to a calendar

Only custom groups assigned in the calendar will have permissions to view calendar.

Click "Add" to select the custom group(s) that will have permissions to this calendar:

Custom group added to calendar permissions

In our case we have selected the custom group named "Sales" and have only enabled the option so that users in the group can only view their own events, but group members cannot create new events.

If we want the users of the group to be able to create new events we simply have to activate the other option.

Once you have configured the calendar permissions for the group click on "Save":

Calendar with custom group and permissions

Thus we have given the permissions to a custom group for access to a calendar, but in order for the users to be able to see the events that correspond to them it is necessary to assign the ownership of the event to the users.

Event owner

Locate the event you want to assign an owner to and "click on the three vertical dots" to display the event options menu.

Add owner to event

In the event options menu select "Owner":

Adding owner to an event

Initially the event has no owner.

To assign owners to the event click on "Add" to select the users who will be owners:

Choose users

Choose the users and click "Apply":

Owner added to an event

Here we have chosen the user named "Thomas". To finish assigning the ownership of the event click on "Save".

When the user "Thomas" logs into his TuCalendi account, when he goes to the "Calendars" menu, he will only see one calendar; although this calendar has three events, he can only access the event he owns and he cannot create new events because he does not have permissions to do so.
