How to share a calendar with members of an group + unable to create new calendars

[samuelolavo]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently configuring EGroupware with LDAP authentication and group integration. Everything works fine for login and group detection, but I’m having two issues:

I would like to share a calendar with all members of a specific group , but I can’t find a clear way to assign a calendar to a group or give a group access.

Is there a recommended method to create a “group calendar” and define ACLs so that all group members can read/add/edit events?

I am also unable to create new calendars.
The “Calendars” panel does not appear on the left sidebar in the Calendar app (even when changing views), and I don’t see any “Add calendar” option under Admin → Applications → Calendar either.
Is there a different place or prerequisite for enabling the creation of new calendars?

Thank you!

I am also unable to create new calendars.

Let’s start here: in EGroupware a user has only a single calendar, so no way to create additional ones.

But you can create a functional user, for a further calendar and set the ACL to allow e.g. yourself all rights on that calendar, and others e.g. read rights only.

Is there a recommended method to create a “group calendar” and define ACLs so that all group members can read/add/edit events?

The above functional user, can be used to archive that.

Group calendars (selecting a group in calendar) is only a view, which shows the calendars of all the members of that group. You can also invite a group, which “places” the invitation in each members calendar, which he can accept or reject then.

EGroupware mostly uses categories, where are systems use additional calendars.

Hope that explains the concept a bit …
