My Calendar Permissions

Permissions in My Calendar are granular, so you can provide user roles with access only to specific portions of My Calendar. It supports custom roles, as well, so you can grant permissions to any role you create or that is created by a membership plugin.

The administrator role has all capabilities, and you can not remove these in My Calendar.

User Profile Permissions Settings

There are additional permissions configurable in user profiles. Users who are allowed to create events can be restricted to only creating events in specific categories:

You can check off categories to assign access to that user. This can be useful if a user is responsible for a particular type of activity, but shouldn’t be adding other events.
