Sharing calendars with SOGo web interface

The calendars can be shared among SISSA users. A shared calendar can be used with the calendar web interface or with an external client.

To access the sharing properties select the Sharing … item from the context menu, by right-clicking on the calendar name:

A window containing sharing properties is displayed. For default the permissions list box contain only 2 items:

• Any authenticated users (all SISSA users);
• Public Access (all internet users).

The default entries cannot be deleted.

Double-click on an item to display the sharing settings:

As you can see in this view the defaults are for None access. Generally the default items have to be modified only if you need to publish the calendar for public web access (example: calendar of course's lessons).

See the next subsection in order to share your calendar with specific users.

To add a shared access for a user do those steps:

• 1) Click on the button Add at the top-left of the window:

another dialog window is displayed:

• 2) In the text box at the top of this dialog window write a search string (for example a user's surname) that matches the user account

The matching users list is displayed in the box under.

• 3) Select the account/ user from the list;

• 4) click on button Add to add the user in the sharing main window.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 if you have to include other accounts in the share.

When you have finished close the dialog window. The share properties window now contains the users with whom you have chosen to do the calendar sharing:

• 5) Select the check-box Subscribe User to mount the calendar in his/her user interface
• 6) Double-click on the user's item to setup the access permissions

A windows opens:

Customize the access to the calendar selecting:

• 7) Access rights (view/modify) to the events of the calendar
• 8) Creation/deletion of events

Then close the window clicking on the Update button on the bottom-right of the window.

Repeat steps 6 to 8 for every user you want included for sharing.

Finally close the sharing main window (click the cross icon on the top-right of the window).
