BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Specifying calendar rights

You can grant or deny users and groups access to calendars. Depending how you organize your calendars, you may have specific sets of dates that you want to be available only for certain employees or departments. For example, your finance team may use a series of financial tracking dates that aren't useful for other departments. Users will be able to see only the calendars they have the rights to see, so you can use rights to hide calendars that aren't applicable to a particular group.

Follow this procedure to change the rights for a calendar. By default, calendars are based on current security settings, inheriting rights from the users' parent folders.
