After importing you users, you can optionally, give them editing permission to the calendar by editing a specific user record.


Types of User:

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 desired categories.

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

*  By default, subscribers may receive event emails for public events only.  A calendar administrator can override this with a global setting via: Admin Menu > options > advanced tab > check "Allow private event emails to any user or subscriber."
