Overview

Accessing a particular calendar

Every calendar can be accessed through a URL similar to the following:

Examples:

• ASP: http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/calendar/calendar.asp?dept=abbr_name
• Perl: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl?dept=abbr_name
• PHP: http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/calendar/calendar.php?dept=abbr_name

where "abbr_name" is the unique, abbreviated name assigned to the calendar when it was created through the administrative configuration form. When a calendar is successfully created, the configuration form will provide the URL to access the new calendar.

3 levels of users

With each calendar, there are 3 levels of users. What they are and how they work is described below:

1. "administrator"
   • has access to the administrator configuration form. DOES NOT have access to the webmaster login interface, only the administrative interface.
   • can add an event to any calendar
   • can do anything to any calendar. If an event is entered by any other user the administrator can edit, move, or delete the event.
   • there is one "administrator" per calendar system. That is, you cannot have administrators with multiple logins and passwords.
   • can access any calendar, regardless of whether it is restricted or not
   
   
2. "webmaster"
   When each calendar is created, it also has a "webmaster" assigned to it. The webmaster:
   • can modify most of the configurations for each calendar. The webmaster DOES NOT have access to the administrative configuration form.
   • can only add events to the webmaster's assigned calendar
   • can edit, move, delete any event entered by any "user" for their particular calendar, but not an event added, edited, moved, or deleted by an "administrator".
   • there is one "webmaster" per calendar. You cannot have multiple logins and passwords for a webmaster.
   • can only access their particular calendar. If other calendars are restricted, they will not be able to access those calendars.
   
   
3. "user"
   With each calendar comes a default user. It is up to the webmaster or administrator to add/edit/delete users from a calendar. Once a user has an account:
   • cannot modify the configurations to any calendar
   • if a calendar is restricted, can only access the calendar they have an account on
   • can add events only to the calendars they have an account on and the calendar is enabled to allow users to add events
   • can edit, move, delete events only on the calendars that:
     1. they have access to
     2. have the "edit", "move", and/or "delete" permission to (See Security Options for more information)
     3. have only those events the user originally entered
