Levels of user permission:

Owner – the calendar administrator who created the calendar.  Owners can add/edit events in all categories and edit all calendar options located in the Admin Menu.  The owner  cannot be deleted but can be edited.

Administrator – User that can add / edit events in all categories plus edit all calendar options located in the Admin Menu.  Administrators may add users and categories to the calendar.

Category Manager – User that can add and edit events for one or more assigned categories.  Managers cannot access the admin menu.

Self-Book  – Special user that may add & edit only their own events and not another user’s events.  Must turn on “D. Self Booking” setting in specified categories.

Subscriber – May view public events only and cannot login  to the calendar.  Subscribers may receive event emails, newsletters, as well as RSVP to events.*

Quick Tips:
  • Subscribers may receive event emails for public events only, by default. A calendar administrator can override this with setting:
    Admin Menu > options > advanced tab > check “Allow private event emails to any user or subscriber.”
  • Subscriber & User “status” indicates the following
    OK – subscriber or user is in good standing and will receive your calendar emails, reminders, and invites.
    Pending – subscriber signed up via subscriber form and needs to click “Yes” in the “Confirm Subscription” email we sent. Pending user still needs to create their password.
    Opt-out – subscriber has unsubscribed from your calendar emails.
    Locked – you’ve exceeded your purchased # of subscribers and those above your limit are locked and will not receive emails. Upgrade to unlock subscribers.
    Bounced – double check this email to make sure it’s correct. An email you sent to this person bounced.  Edit user or subscriber to get more info.

Email Groups

Examples of Email Groups you might create include:

Community: creates a “Newsletter” email group so can community members can “sign up” to receive newsletters.

Education: creates groups for teachers, administrators, parents or PTA.
Sports: creates groups for each team, coaches, officials. booster club.
