Controlling Access to a Planner

Supervisor mode lets you control who has access to a particular planner. If a user is given full access to a planner then the user may edit the planner's name and even delete the planner. If the user is given full access to the planner's contents then the user is free to add, edit and delete planner keys and bookings held within the planner.

You can grant access to a particular planner in the following way:

Bring up the Planner property sheet by clicking the right mouse button on the relevant planner in the right hand list in Supervisor mode and selecting Edit… from the context menu. Select the Access page.

Specify whether this is a private, personal or public planner by selecting the appropriate radio button. If you select Private then only the owner of the planner will have access to the planner. If you select Personal then other users' access to this planner and the contents of the planner will depend on their general access to the owner of the planner. If you select Public, then all users will have full access to the planner and its contents.

If you wish to grant access to the planner regardless of users' access to the owner, then select the Custom radio button and press the Custom Access… button.

The Custom Access property sheet is shown. This property sheet provides two pages; the Item Access page and the Contents Access page. The Item Access page lets you specify access of each security profile to the planner. For example, if a user is given edit access, using the Item Access page, then, in the case of a planner, they may edit the planner's name. If they are given delete access, using the Item Access page, then they may delete the planner. The Contents Access page lets you specify the access of each security profile to the planner keys and planner bookings held within the planner. For example, if a user is given delete access, using the Contents Access page, then the user may add, edit and delete planner keys and planner bookings held within the planner.

For both the Item Access page and the Contents Access page in turn, select the security profile(s) whose access you wish to change to the planner and the planner's contents, respectively. Specify the access to the planner by checking the appropriate radio button. The settings will take place when you press OK on the property sheet. The access of all members of the selected security profile(s) will change to the new settings.
