Calendar Permissions

[keharris53]

Hello,
I've checked vbulletin.com and cannot find a resolution to my problem, which may be easy for some of you here. I am attempting to set up access to a private calendar for a group of users. I've created the additional calendar, but am having problems making it visible to only one group of users. I created a new usergroup I'll call "newcalendar". Some of these users are members of usergroups that have more access via permissions than other users within the newly created group. I hope this is clear. I've tried using the custom permissions.
See if this makes sense:
group B is a member of the "newcalendar" usergroup and can view and therefore has access to the new calendar.
group A has greater overall access on the boards than members of group B. Some members of group A are members of the "newcalendar" usergroup, and although given custom permissions to view the new calendar, cannot see it, therefore are unable to access.
Some members of group A are not members of the newly created "newcalendar" usergroup and are not authorized to view the new calendar.

I hope this doesn't sound too convoluted. Essentially I need those members of group b who are also members of the newcalendar group, to be able to view the new private calendar. All other board members who are not members of the newcalendar usergroup will not see the new calendar in the drop down box. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I'm using 3.8.4 pl2

The usergroups "newcalendar" and "group A" - are these primary usergroups or secondardy usergroups for these users?

Hello Lynne,
newcalendar would be a secondary group to the primary group A.

Then how can users in the "newcalendar" group have less permissions than those in group A - that is impossible.

I should have said that they have access to more of the forums. I figured out all but one problem that caused one group to view more forums than authorized in the new usergroup. Under Forums & Moderators - Forum Permissions, a forum was marked as not being viewable, however, it was. Under Forums & Moderators - View permissions, the forum previously indicated as not viewable appeared as viewable. Strange. I reset to Yes to All, saved, then reset back to No to All, and the problem was resolved. The new calendar is now visible to most members that need to see it. I just have to resolve one more group. Thank you Lynne and my apologies for not being more clear with the terminology.

You would need to make sure under Calendar Permissions that the only usergroup that has access to the calendar is the newcalendar group AND that usergroup must have Allow Users to have Member Groups set to Yes so those users can inherit the permissions.
