Hi.
Not quite sure how your setup is, but there is an “Admins” group by default.
Well, or at least I have one.
Setup scenario for corporates etc:
As a rule, any invitee will need read access to the calendar the event is
created in.
If you do not wish people having read access to your calendar, then you
should not create an event in that calendar.
Since groups in egroupware cannot have calendars (only users), my personal
solution was to create a user “staff-group-user” and a group “staff”. You
then grant the “staff” group read access in the “staff-group-user”.
If you wish, you can then also create a group “supervisors” and grant them
read-write-modify-delete etc access in “staff-group-user”.
All you then have to do is assign your users to the appropriate groups.
When you create an event, you create it as group invitation to the
staff-group and every staff member will receive an invitation. Please note
that your supervisors will also need to be “staff” members in order to be
invited to this event, otherwise you will need to add the supervisor group
to the invitation too.
If you do not wish to be the “owner” of the event, then you will have to log
in as “staff-group-user” and create the event. This comes in handy when
other people will need to have the right to modify or delete the event, like
the supervisor group.
However, your staff does not need read access to your calendar anyway.
All you have to do is create an event in your calendar and invite people.
The event will show up in peoples calendar even though they have to read
access to YOUR calendar, but they read theirs. And they have the option to
confirm or reject. If they choose to reject, the event will disappear from
their calendar, unless they have chosen to display rejected events too.
That of course means that people will only see events they are invited to.
Unless you use the option above, they will not automatically see ALL STAFF
events, whether invited or not.
Does that help?
Cheers,
Ingo
