Image: Permissions page

With the introduction of release 3.5.000 the permission management has completely changed. There are no authorization modes aymore. "Permission schemes" have been introduced that are much more flexible and customizable.

The permissions page shows one scheme at a time. Each TeamCal Pro feature is listed on that page, described in detail, and next to it are check boxes that allows you to permit that feature to Administrators, Directors, Manager, Users or the Public. In the screenshot above for example you can see the feature "Edit Global Calendar" which is allowed to Administrators and Managers in the Default scheme. You can decide to grant this permissions to any of the other roles as well by ticking the corresponding check box. If the scheme you are editing is the currently active scheme, applying your changes will make them active right away.

There are quite a lot of features available in TeamCal. That's why they are organized in groups, identified by a blue headline when you use the standard theme. Each section can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the little icon left to the section title.

TeamCal Pro comes with one default permission scheme called "Default". This scheme cannot be deleted. There is also a button available on the page that sets the Default permission scheme back to its default values. Also, the permission "Edit Permission Scheme" can never be taken away from administrators so you cannot lock yourself out form editing it.

Select permission scheme

At the top you find a drop down list with the currently available permission schemes. Off the shelf there will be only one, called "Default". If you created your own permissions scheme it will be listed there as well. Changing the selection will prompt you to confirm to load it into the editor. Remember to save your current changes before you do. The button [Activate] will make the permission scheme active.

Create permissions scheme

Next to the above you can enter a name for your own permission scheme. Only alphanumeric characters are allowed, no blanks. Clicking on [Create] will add this permission scheme to the database setting all permissions to the default values. Your scheme will also be loaded into the editor where you can make your desired changes. [Apply] your changes and click [Activate] to make your scheme active.
