Hi All,

?

I am looking to give specific individuals (members) the ability to add calendar events without giving them any other moderator privs. I don't see this as a mod priv. Can a moderator have no privs but still be able to edit the calendar? Other ideas?

?

Thanks.

If you make someone a Mod, they automatically get certain permissions over items jn the Features section of group settings such as the Calendar, Files, Photos & Wiki etc.? However, if you add an event to the calendar yourself (I'm assuming you are the Owner/Mod) and put the email address of a group member in the Organiser Email field, then they get full control over just that event so they can update and delete it if needed.

?

If it is an RSVP event, they also get access to all the options on the Actions button on the Responses page and are also able to see the additional information entered by each respondent (if any was requested).? I found it useful to moderate the #cal-invite hashtag as when members first start updating calendar details they tended to use the Update Event & Group button which generated lots of unnecessary messages for the group.

?

I also review the events to check the frequency and type of reminders.? On my group, I don't want too many reminders or have them sent out as special messages for example.

Just an FYI
Groups.io recommends having more than one owner.?

So, if I read your note correctly, making this person a moderator without any checked privs will still allow them to edit lots more than calendar, correct??

Correct.? If you review the Permissions options for each the Features in your group settings, you will generally find that you cannot exclude Mods from accessing/updating things. A notable exception is Subgroups where creation can be restricted to Owners.

I would say that would be the minimum you need to do.

I (and my co-owner) put all the initial details in to create the event. That way we control the overall format and double-check that details are relevant and correct. It's also less painful than having to tidy up afterwards.

Moderate all calendar related hashtags so you can keep control over how many event related messages sent to you group.

If you need to remove a member's control over the calendar event, simply remove their email address from the Organiser Email field.

BTW, I see no reference to RSVP events. Where is that?

RSVP events are referred to in the Working with Calendars section of the Member's Manual.? Note that giving a member control over a calendar event by putting their email address in the Organiser Email field is not mentioned as this is a relatively recent change and the manual's haven't caught up yet.?? The manuals are also behind in relation to recent UI changes too. There is an outstanding action for a major overhaul of the manuals but I'm not aware of any target date for that.
