Calendar Manager permissions work at two levels: Global (set in the Admin Users module, controls module access) and Granular (set per individual calendar, controls specific actions like Add Event, Publish Event, and Edit Calendar). Users need both Global access and the appropriate Granular rights to contribute to a calendar.
đź’ˇQuick answers
- What is the difference between "Calendar Manager" and "Calendar Manager (Admin)" at the Global level? Calendar Manager grants module access with restrictions set by granular permissions; Calendar Manager (Admin) grants complete module access and the ability to set permissions for other users.
- Where are Granular permissions configured? In each individual calendar's settings: from the Calendars tab, click the edit pencil next to the calendar, then click the Rights button.
- What are the five Granular rights available per calendar? View Calendar, Edit Calendar, Publish Event, Add Event, and Edit Event.
- Can different admin users have different rights on the same calendar? Yes; granular permissions can be set per calendar with a different set of admin users, each with their own customized access level.

As you are deciding who needs to help with the calendars on your platform, consider the different permission levels you can set. Global Level permissions apply to the entire module, then you can set Granular Level permissions on a smaller scale, such as by individual calendar.
There are two options related to Calendar Manager that can be granted to an admin user group:
- Calendar Manager - Allows users to access the Calendar Manager module, but they are restricted in what they can do there by their module-level permissions.
- Calendar Manager (Admin) - Allows users complete access to the Calendar Manager module, AND users are allowed to set module-level permissions for other users.
- Granular permissions are found within each calendar’s settings. From the Calendar Manager dashboard, click on the Calendars tab.
- Find the calendar whose permissions you want to adjust, and click the corresponding Edit pencil.
- Click the Rights button to display the Calendar Rights screen.
There are five distinct rights that can be granted or revoked to users:
- View Calendar - Users with this right can see the calendar but cannot make edits to it.
- Edit Calendar - Users with this right can change the calendar settings (name, icon, categories, etc.)
- Publish Event - Users can make events on this calendar “live” on the website, that is, visible to site users.
- Add Event - Users can create new events.
- Edit Event - Users can change the name, date, description and other properties of existing events on this calendar.
