Calendar permissions
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 4:06 pm
We are struggling with fully implementing the new calendar. Building schedulers do not have the ability to edit any ward calendar but their own, so what is a building scheduler working with 2-4 wards supposed to do? They can't schedule anything for those other wards, or even see what those wards have in their calendars.
Furthermore, the stake has no visibility to ward calendars--again, except their own ward, which is not very helpful as we try to assist all wards in the stake. We can't even see what they're scheduling or how they're using the calendar. And they can't give us permissions to see it because permissions can only be granted to a member of the same ward. But the stake is the over-arching unit, so that makes no sense.
Bottom line: As stake clerk, I need to have and grant edit permissions to ANY member of my stake (preferrably by calling, not name) on ANY calendar in the stake, including ANY ward calendar. These permissions include the stake clerk, the stake presidency member over calendars, the high councilor over calendars, and the building schedulers. Otherwise, the burden is on each ward to schedule events and resolve conflicts--even though they can't see the other ward calendars sharing their same building.
