There are no assignable Privileges related to Event Calendars.  By Default, PU’s have an implied Privilege to “Create Event Calendars”.

Any Administrator may change the Owner of an Event Calendar to any  PU thereby giving full Edit Access.

Permissions

Only Admins may grant Permission to allow both Regular and Power Users to add or modify Events associated with a specific Event Calendar associated with an element from the element's Viewer.

PU’s do not have the ability to grant these Permissions, even to Groups that the PU has Permission to Edit.

Permissions can be applied to:

  1. Individual PU's
  2. Groups for inheritance by members of the Group

The Owner setting is not visible to a PU that owns the Event Calendar.
